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.

Yes, 10 77Ls in total, I believe No 6 is currently being reconfigured (may be wrong), where F is being removed, the old ones have old F suites obviously. Also MCO has 77Ws on some flights

New deliveries from 2021 only and too expensive to retrofit, according to this 6 month old article.

Maybe the race to have the best over the top FC is losing steam. Having flown BA/AF/EK in the past 18months EK still has the best first overall. I do have to admit AF first service especially on the ground and transferring is spectacular.

I have a AMS-DXB in a few weeks time and noticed that they are releasing STN-DXB in the last couple of days. It's a EK award ticket. Am I right in assuming I can call up and move it to STN and just pay the extra taxes? They allow changes to departure point in same zone right?

I am actually in the UK. Booked AMS as cheaper taxes but don't mind paying the extra tax if I can try out the new cabin.

EK has in my opinion the best overall product flying that said I have not flown any of the other ME3 nor Singapore Airlines. Their suites, service, food and lounges coupled with courtesy cars makes a nice experience. I have been fortunate to have 6 six trips and another one booked
