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.

First class seats on A330 are not lie flat rather they are deeply reclining with a horizontal footrest that slides in and out but cannot be adjusted for angle unless you treat the "almost fully out but not quite" part of the extension process as giving you a slight angle to work with. Same on the A340-300s.

Hi everyone,
My husband and I are flying AKL-DXB-DUB next year, with our then 1 year old twins
Our AKL-DXB leg is on the A380 (Y class), and I have tentatively reserved/requested seats 67E&F in the hope that we can get two bassinets.
Seats 54E&F are also available?
Or are we are better off requesting 43A&B or 52J&K and having only one bassinet but hoping the plane isn't full and we might get the spare seat.
I would really appreciate your advice on what seats you think would be best

Row 54 is adjacent to a galley and may make things easier for you than 67.

No matter where you sit, whoever is in the seat(s) next to you will probably want to move out if possible. In this case go for the middle 2 of 4 as this gives you double the chance of someone moving and leaving you a spare seat.

The girls are well behaved now but in 8 months time it might be a different story! I am dreading being that couple with those kids!!

if you're travelling alone, the outer suites are better (if you see what I mean, because technically every suite is an aisle seat). I personally prefer row 2 - so 2A or 2K would be my preferences. A is closer to the toilets (and the door), if that makes a difference to you. On the 777-300ER you get all of 3 windows to yourself, all electronically controlled!

I was in 1K yesterday - perfect in my view. Will get a different perspective on today's flight - could only get 2E.
