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.

For me, theyre all the same. On the 77W might get a little galley noise in row 1, and I think the curve of the fuselage may make row 1 on both types a bit smaller, but these are small things IMO.

Row 2 for less galley noise and traffic.
Specifically, 2A for a solo pax since there is just a wall and no suite (door) across the aisle.
If the cabin is not full, then maybe 2K so you can use 2F as your bedroom.

Generally speaking: yes. But as equipment changes can happen it is not guaranteed.
This mornings flight is by A6-EQN which is a game changer F frame.

Not sure if entirely accurate, but GVA, ZRH and BRU seem to have been the most consistent, and have had it the longest.

When I book the flight and I choose my seat, will it show the accurate 6 seat game changer map if it is scheduled to fly that plane?

I believe it will.

In an earlier post in this forum, someone mentioned EK235/236 between ORD/DXB will switch to the game changer.

When viewing seat maps for Aug 26, it shows 8 seats in F.

When viewing the same flights for Nov 17, it shows 6 seats in F.

Thanks! What about HND-DXB flight #312 and #313? Is that reliably with the new F?

Youd have to check flight radar, but my last two trips to HND have been on the game changer (didnt plan it. Just prefer to NRT). There are routes that are rotated in and out and HND is one of them I think.

The three routes I mentioned have been game changers from the start and very rarely dont have it.
