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.

Debating between EK and QR to HYD this November. We will be flying economy, so either ORD-DXB-HYD or ORD-DOH-HYD. We flew Emirates in 2016, it was a good experience, so just trying to figure out if EK or QR might have an edge in economy. Thanks for the advice!

They are definitely flying newer planes to ORD with the new J product but not the newest with new F product. A big step up from the ECx airframes that used to ply the route. Someone did post somewhere that their ORD flight is showing as a 6F airframe but probably that's a one off

Is there a source where one can lookup EK aircraft assignment for the next few days?
Have an F seat AS award for DFW-DXB on 8/29, and having looked at the recent aircrafts that have serviced the route, the new F planes have come to the Big D quite a few times starting July.

Thanks - that's the only way I've been keeping an eye on it, was just keen to know if there were any other sources one could use.

Slightly OT but thought this would be the best place to check. How long does it take to exit STN once you land on EK F. There is a train at 1425 and the flight lands at 1330. Is that too little time? I was out within 25mins at LGW on EK a couple of weeks back. How is STN?
