Emirates Seating Guide

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.

Business:

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.

Economy:

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

Business:

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!

Economy:

General comments: Y on the 777 is for slim people.

If you want the middle, I would recommend row 2 over 3 as row 3 is the last middle row and is close to the galley so the noise may be annoying. I try to avoid rows 3 and 4 whether I'm in the middle or in a window as they are too close to the galley. And the middle suites are E and F, not E and K. K is a window seat.

Boeing 777/300ER and A340-300

Hi

I'm 1.95 meter tall and want to know which seats have more space to stretch my legs in Economy Class.

I already reserved in the Bulkhead, but I don't know if other seats have more space to stretch my legs.

Also, has the Bulkhead on these plane got screens like the other seats to watch movies?

Thanks a lot

1.95m I would go for exit rows...

My experience of this is actually pretty mixed - I'm often able to reserve bulkhead seats on an A380 without any problem. Exit row seats, i.e. A-C / H-K is a different matter.

Even on the 777, your should be able to allocate the center bulkhead seats....

I've currently got a leg in Y later this year on the A380. I can see Rows 45, 54, 67 and 82 (centre), and Rows 52 (outside) available for pre selection. All of these are bulkheads with bassinets.

You'll get a warning that you may be moved if you try to pick any of these.

772LR economy

Hello,

I'll be traveling DXB-SEA early December, the flight is operated by a 777-200LR. Unfortunately the only window seats left at the time of booking were row 25A/K. This is the last row in the front economy cabin, right in front of the restroom. Seatguru indicates that this row may have limited recline - does anyone have any opinions about this row?

I'm going to try to score an exit seat at the airport - any tips on how to ask for them? Do they usually just give them out on request without too much trouble? Can I do this at my originating airport for my flight into DXB or only after I land at DXB?

Thanks!

It might interest nobody other than my goodself but, if it was possible to ensure that I always could have seat 6K, all my flights in J to and fro OZ would be on the 777.

I'm flying SEA-DXB-HKG on the 777-300ER in J and trying to decide between an aisle/window pair in row 7 and one in row 8. Any preferences? From what I've read row 7 has the advantage of being in the "mini cabin" but is missing windows. Row 8 has no seat in front of it so may feel more spacious. Which row will be less disrupted by galley noise and bathroom traffic?
