I read a few pages of this thread but could only find info for people travelling alone in F on the 777-300ER. We have requested 2E/2F. If 1E/F is available upon check-in, would there be any advantage? Less noise from J if J is full? Edit: Just read the FAQ on seating and it says to avoid row 1 but doesn't specify why. What are the advantages/disadvantages of 1E/F vs. 2E/F?

And this is a rather specific question, but for anyone that's flown DXB to GVA, would A or K be better for the views out of the window (or are they pretty much the same)? We plan to sit 1A/2A or 1K/2K on this shorter leg for some daytime views.

Thank you for any help.

First post on this site. I am flying Emirates Business Class from Manchester to Melboune on 1st March. Going on EK20 from Manchester and EK406 from Dubai to Melbourne. I seem to get conflicting views of what seats are like, i.e. are they sleeperettes or lie flat. The Emirates site says they are sleeperettes on EK20, but when I go into my booking it implies they are lie flat. Has anyone flown on these 2 flights recently and can advice on seat type.

Also, booked in 7A/7B from Dubai to Melbourne. seatguru advises disadvantage of these seats is window misaligned. Is this very significant or do you still get a window.

Thanks

Row 6 & 7 are perfect. I prefer even row 7 because there is no one behind you in the smaller mini cabin.

Flights from DXB to MEL are always lie flats. Equipment can change out of MAN.

Ft101, do you think the plane will have F section?
Thanks!

Yes, the flight will have an F section. The mini-J cabin (rows 6 and 7) tend to be the most preferred by the regulars here (including me). 6A/7A are the best IMHO. I've never worried about misaligned windows, never bothers me.

PS Sorry, are you talking about your flight from BHX to DXB? Or something else now?

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 ;)
