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.

Flying ORD to DXB in a couple of days in business class. Flight is completely empty... think 5 to 10 pax total. I looked at buying an upgrade to 1st, but it was $9,000. Any chance I can buy a really cheap upgrade at the airport? Note i have no status on the airline.

How do you know its completely empty? The seat maps mean little as most people wont pay to assign a seat before check in.
EK dont do discount airport upgrades unfortunately. ive asked many times and its always just the fare difference between J and F

I havent flown J in a while, so
forgive my ignorance: do you now have to pay to have a seat assigned in J? I thought this was only in Y?

No payment , but you can't select a seat in J on special fares until check in.

Is the new F product on any US routes? If not, which routes is it on and how can I verify when booking that the product offered is the new version? Thanks!

Any ideas whether EK really will fly A380s to LHR in April?
Would be awesome to get the game changer instead.

I believe the game changer 777 was at LHR anyway, even when the A380 were flying. I think it was 3 A380s and the B777. They dropped the A380 again once the UK ban started.

I am pretty sure that for a while it was 4*A380. Not sure when that started (or ended), but on 25/12 when I flew DXB/LHR I am almost certain all 4 rotations were A380's

EK31/EK32 was a B777 throughout according to FR24.

Could someone provide me with the airframe numbers for the planes with the new game changer F.... I know it was posted here earlier, but can't find the specific thread with that info. Also, I am guessing the answer is EK would not make the investment during this crisis in order to conserve cash.... but is anyone aware if EK used the the downtime of the aircraft to retro any B777's with the new game changer F? Thanks

For future reference, there is a Wiki page for this thread that has the aircraft numbers.

No changes have been made to the current B777/A380 fleet.
