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.

Hi - I normally fly on a 777-300ER . In first, on the A380 where is NOT noisy, where is good ? I am bit confused with the 380 / 340. I keep reading about bars and came across someone writing about Beyonce at the bar ... but I would like peace/quiet. In 777-300ER I sit in 2A/2K.
Thank you .
Thank you .
We have taken 4 flights in F on the EK 380. The front bar is really not that active. There is some activity in the front for the showers and the shower attendents. I think you will be happy in 2a or 3a or 2k or 3k. I avoid 1a-1k.
I have booked 3K and I am happy with that seat choice.
Happy trails!

I was just wondering what the power ports are like on the 777-300ER, because my laptop is from the UK and hence has the 3-pin power connection, so wanted to know if i needed to buy a converter beforehand so that i can charge my laptop on the plane.
also the emirates website says:
"An in-seat power supply and a USB connection allow passengers to view videos and pictures from their laptops or portable devices"
when searching through google i found that alot of people were saying that you could view pictures but not movies? because i would have loved to thrown a few divx movies onto a USB and watch them on the seat screen instead of the laptop screen.
Thanks Guys

777-300ER bulkhead seating
So I've taken a few EK flights on the 777-300ER this year, and I always try and get the first row in Y. I find that you can put your legs up against the divider and that makes the flight a lot more comfortable. So anyway, this worked fine on all the flights I've taken so far, (a couple of flights to SIN, and one to DEL) except the latest one which was DXB - JFK (EK 203), where I found the leg space to be a lot less. I'll be flying JFK - DXB on EK 204, and was wondering whether I should maybe switch to another row. I'd have thought longer flights would have more leg room (my EK 511 DEL - DXB had so much leg room!). I'm guessing this probably has something to do with the type on J/F seats on the aircraft, but if I remember correctly there have been different J/F seats on different flights. If anyone has any recent experience with this aircraft/ knows what I should expect, I'd appreciate your input.

So seat in row 17 on 777-300ER and 777-300 is not a bulkhead seat?
How is possible reserve row 16? Only at chcekin?
On flight DXB-VIE on 777-300ER are still free seat 17F,G 23E,F 38E,F 46J,K 47A,B - can you recommend the best selection? We are travelling in couple.
On flight BKK-DXB on 777-300 is free 17FG and 38EF.
Thank you!

I must acknowledge that the "manage my booking on EK" displays the correct info. Rows 17 and 38 are bassinet and bulkhead.
We cant try row 47 because we were transferred to row 10
Sorry for late answer

Hi Everyone,
Just need some info guys. Im flying DXB-Rome on the evening flight on the A330-200. The ek website shows sleeper seats but from my experience on the 330-200 earlier has been the old style seats with a pretty good legroom. I was just wondering if these are upgraded seats. Appreciate your help guys.
Thanks in advance
cheers

A380 42K?
Hello,
I spoke with an EK rep to secure seats for my trip (booked through Continental) IAH-DXB. The LHR-DXB portion is the A380, and the agent gave me seat 42K. According to seatguru there is no row 42. I repeated the seat number back to her and she didn't correct me.
Can anyone provide any insight? Is there a row 42? My flight is in early March so I have time to call back; I just want to ensure I have a window seat that is not over the wing. Thanks.

EK is about to introduce a second configuration of the A380, i believe the main difference is that there is no crew rest which is on the main deck currently.
From what i see on the seat plan the lavs are being shuffled around too which means they first row will be row 41 as opposed to the current row 43.
I understand these aircraft will be going to London and soon Paris where crew rest is not needed.

Some advice plz?
Hey all, I got a few flights with Emirates coming up in February 2010, can i get some seating advice?
Looking for good window seats in:
A380-800 (Economy) YYZ - DXB
and
A330-200 (Economy) DXB - NBO (3-Class there, 2-Class return)
Any advice would be appreciated. I assumed window is good, since the flights are long and i can probably sleep against the wall...
P.S. The seats that are marked "green" on seatguru are obviously taken so i am left to pick from the regular ones

A380 Business Seating
Have read all through the postings and researched Seatguru and the EK site but still have the following questions.
1. My wife insists on a window seat so we cannot sit together on the A380.
Which of the aisle seats would be best for me (assume that I want to be near her) and which is a decent row for a day flight DXB/BKK
2.Daughter/husband and two kids aged 11 & 5.
Which seat configeration would be best for them to sit together.
(same DXB/BKK flight)
3.Anyone got a link to photos/video of the Business cabin layout.
Thanks
SS

As for seats together, it's the inner seats in the center (E and F seats).
