Emirates 777 First Class - Newbie wanting to help to understand seat map!

Hello!

I’ve booked to fly Emirates First Class on a 777 as I saw that there was only 6 seats and took it as a sign it was the new suites! But the more I look the more I’m not sure! Has anyone seen a congif 1-1 (with 1F and 1K missing), but row 2 1-2-1

its 6 seats, but not in a 1-1-1 config, also the route is Phuket to Dubai - Not one that has ever seen one of the new 777’s according to flight radar.

Any wisdom much appreciated!

thank you!

Just saw this as well for my own flight BKKHKTDXB on 27Feb. Have no idea what the explanation is.

Probably blocked as pilot rest seats given the HKT-BKK-HKT tag.

We’re due to fly it next week so will let you know!

I did wonder about if it was used as the captains rest area…. Well if so, not a bad thing, less PAX = even better service?! 👍🏻

The service is almost always good, and paxing pilots are treated like paying customers, generally.

Seems a plausible explanation.

I flew the route last week in first and it was a normal 8 seat 777, with crew in 1E/F
