777-200LR First Class
Hi All,
Apologies if I have missed this somewhere - but I wanted to ask about first class on the 777-200LR fleet. As I understand it, the newest aircraft was delivered in 2009, making it virtually 9 years old.
I know it is a private suite, however what is the IFE system like? Have any of these aircraft had a refurb recently?
Thanks

I am sorry to inform you that EK are removing first class on the 777-200LR fleet. I have never flown on the -200LR so am not sure what first class ICE/IFE is installed, however i reckon and believe it is an older IFE system compared to what is on offer on the other 777-300ER's - aka not ICE digital.

Thanks for the responses everyone, I'm flying back home soon (Australia) and need to go to Brisbane for a couple of days for work purposes. The 77L's departure is a good time out of Dubai for me, however I I will most likely pick one of the other 2 flights.

I agree. The ICE is at worst digital widescreen which is still solid IMO. Interestingly enough, my last two scheduled 77L flights were both switched to 77Ws and they were both airframes with the latest ICE.

Shame they are not going to 1-2-1 like others but I shall be interested to see what the 2-2-2 layout brings.
I also heard that brilliantly awful plan to change their coffin world seats next year as well (that came from crew during a recent flight to LAS, they said they were on some panel/group and things were changing)

Given the amount of stuff I read I had completely failed to see this, then again work sometimes takes over all free time and I miss things.
