Yes, but it looks like a recliner seat on 737 ex-Jakarta and an angled flat seat ex-Bali (DPS). With Emirates or Singapore Airlines you'd get lie-flats.

If GA are using the A330 on the DPS-PER route then the seats are not that angled and by all accounts, the service is excellent.

Before we get too carried away, who's talking about DPS? The route is LHR-CGK-PER, no stop in DPS.

If you chose Singapore you could break up your journey with a night at the Marina Bay Sands in a club room and still have change from the price of going direct.
Bali mentioned by ​​​​​​​Willo8 and the routing not inconceivable. MAN-DXB-DPS on EK then separate routing DPS-PER on GA.

Hello,
For the first class with Emirates, do not choose the places where there is a yellow yoke next, they are the ones that are next to the toilet or the kitchen and you will then have a steady stream of people who will pass next to you

In first? I have never sat next to a toilet in F. And have not had a 'steady stream of passengers' passing me either... Row 4 is sort of close to the F galley on the A380 (and therefore 'less favoured').

Neither have I!

Agree Re 4 A/K on A380.

lol garuda ... banned from flying EU for years and whilst vastly improved since government intervention, it's definitely no comparison to an emirates or other tier one airline.

By many accounts it's superior to EK.

Their F is probably close to on par with EK and their ground experience reportedly far superior (in F)

Yeah - I've heard that as well. Supposed to be great.

There is a great fare on SQ out of oslo for 2170 and 1760 on etihad from stockholm. personally i rather save 2600 quid and fly on other airlines which i feel a far superior or on par with emirates. I could care less for chauffeur and lounge its the seats, dine on demand and entertainment that matter!!

And Qatar flies the A380 to Perth too, which is an excellent product.
Depends on the dates they'd want to travel, but it could save them close to a grand with only 1 stopover just like Emirates.
