just curious as not a problem for me
The aisle seats are a few inches shorter than the window / middle seats on the EK A380.

Indeed, 72 inches for B, D, G and J seats, 79 inches for A, E, F and K seats.

I'm 6ft5in and learned about the difference the hard way - always go for 23K now (if I have to fly Business and am not in 2A or K that is...LOL). Office booked me onto a BA flight in Club recently, felt like being cramped into a bassinet!

Why does row 7 feel more spacious than row 25?

Have you tried row 7? I'm a tall chap like you. Do you prefer row 7 or 23? Or are they the same?

I always go for 23K - and really like it. Identical to 23A. Can’t see why 7A/K would differ - also bulkheads, just in the (bigger) forward cabin (dormitory...).

I prefer the smaller rear cabin due to its private feel, and 23 A/K are far enough away from the bar to not be disturbed by any noise.

Same choice for same reason. I have tried 7K but I can’t remember it feeling more spacious than 23K (or A). I’m not that tall (5’11”), so it would not be material to me anyway.

7K for sure. You get served much quicker than 25K.

Not if you've ordered a cocktail from the bar.

For the record I tried both. 7k seems to offer a longer working bed than 23k.
