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.

Tried and tested the EK rewards website today, 16 Sept 2019. Yes, the award seats for the new Fully Enclosed First Class Suite on B777-300ER are released only 2 days before departure, at about 3pm GMT+8, Hong Kong, Beijing, Singapore time.

Sorry folks, i have tried searching but to no avail...anyone tell me if the CPT/DXB route on 777 will have the new F? If not does the current F have much privacy/suites? Thanks in advance.

Old F. All EK aircraft have F suites with doors, just that the newer ones are fully enclosed up to the ceiling while the older ones are shoulder height.

There is a very short list of routes which are regularly scheduled on new F, I think it's basically the below (I could be missing one or two, so please feel free to correct me if wrong):
- STN
- GVA
- FRA
- BRU
- HAM
- VIE
- HND
- MLE
- RUH
- KWI
There was a period previously before all of the above were scheduled where the frames moved around a bit, but EK seem to have worked out what to do to improve utilisation now so they only very occasionally pop up not on the above routes. In North America, Houston seems to get one every now and then (presumably the flight time works to maximise utilisation?) but I haven't seen it deployed to SEA.

New F has 6 seats, so if your flight is showing 8 seats then I'm afraid it won't be new F.
