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.

In a heartbeat, especially if you can get a window seat on the Gamechanger. Since HND-DXB is also the Gamechanger, you'd get a double.

If you're already experiencing the game changer from HND and have never experienced A380 F, I would keep as is. You get to experience both products (and shower on a plane!)

It looks like Flight EK404 from DXB to MEL will feature the new Game Changer First Class starting around March 31st. This could be due to the switch to the summer schedule.

Hello. Is there a recent update for Oct/Nov somewhere around summer-winter schedule change?
I looked at NCE/FRA/STN/ZRH/VIE and no longer see the game changer F cabin.
I do see it for GVA/BRU in Europe.

For the US, is there anywhere besides ORD?

I see MEL for AUS and HND for Japan.

Am I missing any other places besides Saudi?

Thanks.

I am currently seeing a few other routes gaining these aircraft this winter, suggesting there are some changes to come.
