Emirates has unveiled the new first class cabin for their 777s at the Dubai Air Show on November 12th, 2017.
Notably, the new F cabin is fully enclosed from floor to ceiling, has a reduction from 8 seats to 6 total, had virtual windows for the center cabins and features video-based room service ordering.
Business and Economy cabins have also been refreshed, but not completely overhauled.

There is no programme to refit old 77Ws at all, unfortunately, at least that we know of, thus there are only a handful (6 or so..?) aircraft with the new F cabin, and the 10 77Ls are slowly being refitted with the new Y and J in 2-class config (2-2-2 in J), with ADL getting the new cabin soon. There is also no announced programme to refit the A380s. My suspicion is that there won't be a major refit programme, but rather that eventually (in another 2 years or so perhaps) we will see the oldest 77W cabins either being refurbished to the new config or those aircraft being phased out completely (this is perhaps the more likely outcome given current pilot shortages, load issues and the 77X programme with deliveries beginning in a few years in addition to the 787s coming in in a few years' time). It may thus be another 4-5 years until even a somewhat significant portion of the fleet (>25%) has the new cabins

Has anyone heard plans of them installing it on the A380? Also why aren’t they making a bigger advertising campaign about it if it’s going to be fleetwide. Look at UA and Polaris-not Polaris

We're going off topic a bit here, but a lot of stuff OMAAT posts is poorly interpreted and misrepresented, though somewhat correct, a lot of it is entirely correct, almost none of it is exclusive or first posted there. It's a great aggregator, and a website I read daily, but they don't have some sort of inside scoop for most of their stories (they do occasionally it appears), and virtually every "article" is a rip-off from another site, usually TPG (*vomit*) or VFTW. Add to this the constant repetition with the 4-paragraph intros recapping the article on the same topic written the day before and it makes for painful reading sometimes, I honestly don't know why I keep going back to read it, it annoys me but equally as I said, it's a great aggregator (like the FT homepage but that's got such a terrible interface I stopped using it)

Yes - supposed to be 10 suites not 14. Time will tell though given the extreme cost and the cost cutting/pilot shortage at the moment.

Business Class Seating 777-300ER
Have these seats been upgraded on the entire fleet as the website leads one to believe ? Reason I am asking is deciding on Biz out of SEA versus 380 out of SFO
Thank you
Thank you

I believe only 4 of the 10 frames have been reconfigured. Looking at the last month, it seems that if a 77L operates the SEA flight it is a reconfigured frame with the exception of one day.

Some of the 77W airframes have the newer J seats but still in a 2-3-2 configuration. Some of the 77L airframes have been operating the SEA route of late of which at least 4 have been retrofitted with the new J seats in a 2-2-2 cabin layout and removing the F cabin as mentioned up-thread.
