Thanks, yes, BHX-DXB.

Bhx-DXB flight was 3 class in the end. Seems like everyone was shifted forward 2 rows so I ended up in F (with J service). Nice wide seat but a bit hard and uncomfortable. Not complaining though, it was a pleasant flight.:)

Hallo,

in July I will travel from Amsterdam to Manila, with a stop in Dubai. I was wondering witch seats are better, 46 A or 47 A ? I googled it and I saw on a other forum, that the 46A has extra leg space, but on seatguru it says its a seat with problems?

What is your advice?
Its the 777-300 by the way.

46A.

Do it.

3 of us travelling J dxb-jnb A380. 25 E,F,K ? Unfortunately 23 is unavailable. Views?

Row 25 is too far at the back and would be noisy. Why not sit somewhere up front?

I like the atmosphere of the mini cabin at the back, just like the mini cabin on the 777-300ER... haven't flown the A380 before, just never got it on my routes until now. So you suggest sitting up front?

The problem with Row 25 is that it's very close to the bar so may experience some noise from any revelry in there.

Ok thanks, I get what you guys mean. I've changed it to 11 E,F,K. Hope the service is as good as on smaller cabins, since the No. of passengers is much more than the 773ER.

I like the 777 row 6 because you're right behind F with minimal disturbance. I wouldn't pick row 6 on 332 where it's the only row with galley behind.

With 380 I'd rather be right in front where there's minimum traffic and least disturbance. When I want some revelry all it takes is a 15 second walk to the bar. The problem is always making ones way back ;)

Yeah haha, the reason I chose the back initially, but I'd rather have a more peaceful sleep than that 2 minute saving.

Ha ha, that's why I like 23A/K as it's not too far to travel back.

U have experience with this seats? Because on SeatGuru , they say the foot space is limited , because of the entertainment box under the seat?:confused:

Yes, I took an overnight flight and slept ok in this seat. I dont know why Seat expert thinks this is a bad seat as you have lots of extra room with the transition from 3 to 2 seats.

I normally go for an exit row seat on a day flight, but i've found this seat better for sleeping as you have a wall to lean on and you don't get people trampling your feet.

46B/J on the other hand do have issues with tray/monitor misalignment, so i would avoid these.

I just flew JFK-DXB on a 777-300ER (with suites) in Y.

46A/B/J/K had extra legroom (noticeable, I'd say 2-3").

46B/J had a slightly misaligned TV so you are leaning into your neighbour to see your own TV.

I sat in 46J but 50J/K were empty (and didn't even show on the seatmap when booking seats) so I moved there. At 46K you can easily lean on the window and still store things on the side. By 50K this is impossible. I ended up using my laptop case as a 'base' against the window and piling pillows on top of it to sleep. Without the base, the pillows would just fall down the side and it's really awkward to try and sleep. Also, 50J/K are RIGHT next to the washroom (literally, RIGHT next to). I didn't mind though and they are very private. From 50K you can only really see your neighbour in 50J.

You don't mention the ICE box under the seat in front of you. Is this an issue?

Other posters have said the monitor issue is insignificant, do you disagree?

As you might guess, i have 46B/J booked for some upcoming flights.

Well I'm 6'1" and I never noticed this box, if that helps.

The monitor is less of an issue than the tray actually being out of alignment as well.
If you can't get an A/K seat then i'd try and go for an exit row if I were you.

Thanks, I prefer an aisle to the window so won't be trying for A/K, but of course an exit row is better still and I'll be sure to ask.

TBH I prefer an aisle as well, but if you have to take a window seat in Y, this ones alright.

Are any of the A380 first class seats blocked? Booked a HKG-BKK flight next week and wanted to get 2 seats in the middle but only window seats are available to be selected.

Probably full if you're booking a week out!

I called Emirates and the only seat in the middle section is in row 3 but blocked for bassinets. Otherwise they still have 5 window seats open and available for sale. Oh well for a 3 hour flight not a big deal.

I have an question about my flight with Emirates

it's already booked and I want to cancel it, because my girlfriend is pregnant , and we can't go on a holiday then (it's a flight from Amsterdam to Manila). Is it possible I change the flight to one year later?

Because on manage my booking, I can't change anything but I already moved the departed date once, could that also be the reason why I can't change it now? Maybe there is a possibility for an open ticket?
And if it's not possible, and I cancel my flight, do I get any money back or lost it all?

Quite possibly - if your ticket has already been reissued once, EK's systems have problems referencing back to the original transaction. However, if you have changed dates once, there is usually no reason why you can't do so again.

As to how far out you can move the dates - this depends on all manner of ticketing and fare conditions... we'd need to know the fare basis code and when you purchased to have even a chance of getting that one right!

EK are one of the more flexible airlines (with their fare conditions) out there, I find.

Best way is to call Emirates and speak to them.

Help anyone? :) Would be much appreciated.

To be honest there is not much difference between rows 1 and 2 in F suites. I personally would go for row 2 but that is personal preference only. I cannot help with views ...

I think you will be happy with row 2. I usually sit in 2a or 2k and only was disturbed once by a sick baby crying in Business class behind us. If you want to sit together go for row 2 center seats. I think it is more private than row one center.

Thanks very much guys :)

Boeing 777-300ER
 

Hi,

I'm gonna fly to Indonesia with Emirates. The planes I have to take are Boeing 777-300ER but not sure it they are class 2 or class 3.

We are 4 people.
Which are the best seats? We are thinking about 47D/E/F/G because the extra space of the removed seats. What do you think?

Thank you,

EK225
 

DXB-SFO, 777-300ER, 23F (Bulkhead but center seat). Is this better than a regular aisle seat?

Thanks in advance...

I normally fly EK into GVA in K seats albeit in J. Nice view over the Alps as you fly up through Europe and approach GVA, followed by Lac Leman, but to be honest that view of the lake will depend on which direction you land.

Have some pics of flying in whilst seated in a K seat in J if you would like to pm me. But may be now a little late for that as I have only just now read your post...Sorry for that.

The other thing I omitted is the ICE which will give you great views as you are on final approach and land, and that's something worth seeing. And you could also take pics of that as you sit in your seat. I did......

Cheers

Sim.

Post them here - we might all like to see them.

Forum, where is that list again that shows the aircraft code (e.g. 73J) linked to frame registrations and therefore type of aircraft (refitted, new, old)? :confused:

It's a bit out of date now with the absence of the excellent contributions from Emirates777.

We are working on that.

Hey all, I'm in need of a bit of help.

I'm in 201 in business in a few days, and was wondering about something related to the seats -

What numbers are the seats that are actually at the window (the personal bar is on the aisle side). Odd or even. I booked 18K thinking I'd be in a window seat, but by the looks of a seat map I just saw it's an aisle seat with the personal bar in the window.

7, 9, 11, 14, 16, 18, 20, 23 and 25 are the window seats in A or K.

It changes between odd and even numbers due to a missing Row 13 and then because of the bulkhead between the forward and rear cabins.

A and K are window seats on the 380, B and J are the aisle seats.
