Emirates Seating Guide
A380
First:
777
First:
A380
First:
- Solo travelers: some say row 4 is loud from the galley behind, while row 1 may be a bit more cramped than other rows. Most suggest rows 2 or 3, seats A or K.
- Couple: E/F seats in rows 1-3 are all fairly similar.
- General: the mini cabin at the back has a more secluded feel, though some comment that there is noise from the bar beyond row 23.
- Solo travelers: most prefer seats A and K (solo seats on sides with windows).
- Couple: aim for seats E/F to be closer together.
- General comments: upgrade if at all possible!

777
First:
- Solo travelers: Row 1, especially 1a and 1k, is the worst because of galley and lavatory right in front. Noisy and high traffic. Not much difference between row 1 and 2 in terms of space on the 77w for k or a seats.
- Couple: there is not really any difference between row 1 and 2 for e and f seats except 1 is near the galley and 2 is near row 6 in j where there may be children
- General: There is limited direct aisle access as the configuration is 2-3-2. The rear J cabin will have Y pax move through on boarding.
- Solo travelers:
- Couple: 7 j and k are great if you don't mind the missing window. It's in the private mini cabin - a great choice unless you like window gazing. You also don't get y traffic passing through this cabin as you turn left on entry!
- General comments: Y on the 777 is for slim people.

777-300 J-class Seating
Hi,
I'm flying in and out of Male in J on EK658 and EK656 on 17 and 23 March. Since I booked the flights in May 2008 (it's been a long wait for this one!)there have been numerous flight number, aircraft type, time and seating changes to the reservation. Both flights are now shown on "Manage my Booking" as two class 777-300 with lie-flat seats and ICE, but Emirates "Services by Flight" checker shows both flights as 3 class 777-300 with sleeperete seats and ICE. Both are night flights so lie-flat would be nice, although not essential on 4 hour flights. Any idea what I can expect or is it a lottery depending on which plane is used on the day?
Cheers,
Steve.

Low comfort seats 345
I can tell you all about these seats.
Row 15 is the bulkhead - 3 seats across in the middle.
Row 16 behind is low comfort : why we ask?
Due to their not being 4 seats for ICE to hang on, one seat has 16G (i think) has a fold out screen.
The rest of the seats all have rigid armrests, so you cannot flip them up and be more comfortale.
Hench the title "Low Comfort".
I actually sat in 16D for a 3 hr flight CHC -SYD - with a spare 3 beside me, and it was ok. I used the tray table next to me and felt comfortable.
Hope this helps

Hello. Can someone tell me what the best seats are for me
I am flying in July LGW-DXB-BNE in a Boeing 777-300ER in Y-class
and in August I am flying back (BNE-DXB-LGW) in a Airbus A340-500 and a Boeing 777-300ER also in Y-class.
Now, I have selected the following seats, but I can change it.... (The exit row seats are already selected by other people)
LGW-DXB (Boeing 777-300ER): 19A
DXB- BNE (Boeing 777-300ER): 39K
BNE - DXB (Airbus A340-500 ):35A
DXB-LGW(Boeing 777-300ER): 18K
(All those seats are next to a window because I like to watch out of the window, unless there is a big box in front of me of course...)
I hope someone can help me (Sorry if my English is bad)

Hope they are not thinking about cutting the A380 from LHR

Ek004/770/771
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi,
I will be travelling on EK004 LHR - DXB, EK770 DXB - CPT and EK771 CPT - DXB. Do you have any idea of the business class product on each flight?
All are said to be on 777-300ER.
Thanks.

Bulkhead rows on 770-300ER and A380?
Hi,
I'm confused
. I know this question has been asked earlier in this thread but I can't seem to find a definite answer to this, sorry to be repetetive...
We're booked on the following: ("manage my booking" shows all these to be bulkhead rows)
MAN-DXB 777-300ER (2 class) 7H & 7K
DXB-JNB 777-300ER (3 class) 17H & 17K
CPT-DXB 777-300ER (3 class) 17H & 17K
DXB-LHR A380 43 H & 43K
The middle seat in these rows is designated a bassinet seat and cannot be booked online, that's why we're not in J&K. (hope to swap seats with anyone seated in the middle... my husband is 6'4" - bulkhead much appreciated...)
However, when I look at the seat map from "our fleet" it seems the bulkheads are row 8 (not 7) and row 16 (not 17) (no map for the A380, but seatguru shows 43 as bulkhead).
Isn't it odd that 8J and 17J would be designated bassinet seats if no in a bulkhead row?
Can anyone help?
Thanks from a first-time Emirates flyer!

Hi
I am not able to coment on the a380 but if your 777 sectors are on 3 class aircraft then row 7 is not bulkhead. There are 2 bus cabins, row 6-7 in the front small cabin row 8 onwards the rear bus cabin. The 2 cabins are seperated by a galley. I prefer row 7 as it is quiter,you get served earler, there IS a full recline to the bualkhead behind you the only drawback if you have a window seat is you only get one window and not 3. Hope this helps.
p.s. the seat map on manage my booking is the correct one...

777-300er - y
Thanks for the response!
Sorry - forgot to mention we're booked in Y. (rows 6-7 make sense in J - I wish!
), Seems the flight MAN-DXB is a 2-class flight. From your response re "manage my booking" being correct I suppose I should trust that rather than the generic seatmap from the "our fleet" menu... assuming seat configurations vary in aircraft of the same type.
Thanks again!

Since there is no seat in front, this would imply that the table and AVOD screen would be stored in the side or be a pull up variety. Does this mean the seat width is reduced in 68A/K and 81A/K??
I have 68K booked on DXB-LHR in the near future.

Seat Width - best aircraft ex London in Y
If I reallly have to do some segments in Y ex london (LHR or LGW) of all the AC that Emirates fly what is the best seat width... I have a very picky partner.
We will be transiting to J flights for the longer OZ sectors so we are talking London DXB in both directions only
Help very greatfully received..
