Emirates Seating Guide
A380

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.

I recently flew J between DXB-MLE, heading there we were on the newer 77W 3 class aircraft (Tablet seat controllers). Which was just like any other J flight on EK. Heading back, we were on the newer 77W 2 class aircraft. We were in row 3. Is it just me or are the J seats closer on the 2 class. I usually cant reach the screen from the seat but on the 2 class I could reach it easily with barely leaning forward, as well as rest my feet on the grey plastic under the seat infront. Also in the flat position it had more of a slant.
The flight only had 10 or 11 people so I tried different seats. The only ones that seemed like all the other aircrafts was row 6 behind the little bar/entry area.
My question is, was it just me or are the seats actually offering significantly less legroom, and an awkward sleeping angle?

The latest planes with the black bezel tablet displays improve on the 110v US style jacks with a 3 pin universal power socket in all classes (again in Y in alternate seats) - I think it's 110-220v. I'll take a picture for you next time if I am on an aircraft with that type.

USB ports and Power sockets
Hi all,
New here and all, hope everybody is well. Emirates economy seating is well documented for being well equipped with power sockets (one per pair of seats as I recall) and each have USB ports.
May I ask, does anyone know what about those in bulkhead rows, where are the USB ports and Power sockets located?
Thanks!

Aren't 2E/F bassinet seats? Or is it 3E/F? Perhaps their system classifies 2E/F as bulkhead seats technically so it's a case of "computer says no". Try giving them a call if you want to reserve them.
