Thanks a lot for the info, much appreciated, I Have high hopes now
if you go to services by flight check this flight for the next 2-3 weeks on some cases it says 777-200 and on other 777-ER i have been flying this route once a year for the last 12 years and i used always prefer the 380/381 mostly in A330-200 instead of the via BBK 384/385 old configurations and between those two old cabins i liked quitter and the and long pitch airbus, than the 777,old cabin recliner. i am full of hopes now that things will change! In addition has the EK 385/385 (HKG-BBK-DXB) been re-fited?? i haven't been on that flight for 3 years I do this flight around once per month and it has been a re-fitted plane for as long as I can remember (ie the last 2 years). |
777-300ER Business Seats.
Hi,
I'm flying to Manila via Dubai from LHR next week and was wondering what the business class seats on the 777-300ER are like between DXB & MNL ? Not sure if they are the old style or the fold out bed ones. Anyone got any tips for business class on the 777-300ER ? I've been on the A380 in both economy & Business before and love that plane. |

Since we have two small children, I was thinking of getting the middle row of 3-4-3. Does anyone know if the armrests can lift on non-bulkhead seats? If the armrests are static/rigid, we prefer to split 2 x 2 and get window-middle or middle-aisle combo. Any thoughts? TIA. |
Going to Dubai with EK in a couple of weeks, 777-300 by the looks of it. I'm 6'8" and travelling in Y (apparently it is not yet a criminal offense to subject me to this :( ), obviously I'll be at check in as early as possible but if I'm out of luck with exit rows are my current reservations the best I can get? Picked on aisle of the 2-seat rear section as I understand from other posts that there might be a little more legroom. Also, do these seats have fixed armrests/extra-narrow width or are they moveable with tray in seat back - and are they angled with the plane body or parallel to every other row?

EK8 Sunday Morning LHR-DXB - seat 48J EK5 Friday afternoon DXB-LHR - seat 46J If EK use 3rd party check-in staff at LHR, make sure you find a real EK staffer (who should be at the end of the counter at ticketing) and be as nice as you can with your request (obviously your height will be a indicator of why you need the room!). I'd even do this BEFORE you actually line up and check in, because the standard agent will need to call an EK supervisor to release the seat anyway. Good luck. And safe travels. |

20K v23
On the A380 business class, given a choice between seat 20K and 23K, which would you take?
Both are windows seats with the extra side storage bins. 20K is followed by a bassinet seat (21J) so there is a risk of a crying baby. 23K is a bulkhead seat in the smaller business section which is closer to the bar (noisy?). Does anyone know if the bulkhead affects the experience? Seat guru says that the seats in row 23 are"very private". Anyone tried it? Do you agree with seat guru? I'm currently booked in 20K, 21J is empty so no crying baby yet. Is it worth taking 23K? Thanks :) |
