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.

I don't know for sure, ( as I haven't sat in these seats) but every aircraft that I have been on, that doesn't have another seat infront (except J and F) has the tray table in the armrest, making it immovable.

Tray table and ICE screen in the armrest, so definitely immovable.

Hi All
What would be considered the better seat in J on a 77W? 7K or 8K? I like my window seats but just wondering if there is a major difference with sitting in 8K with the bulkhead.
Have already sat in 7A and the mini cabin had a nice feel to it.
Grateful for your insights.

I'm in 7K for one flight and 8K for the other but could change to 8K for both but not 7K for both. Will stick as I am and compare the two.
Thanks again.

I can't comment on 52K, but have a look at the Google Maps walk through on the EK website to get an idea if no-one else comments.

I always try and pre-select 45D if travelling on the A380 in Y. I've just come off a flight sat there today. That and 45G are to the side of the stairs and have lots of legroom. Unfortunately, that row is also a bassinet position which is a risk. The monitors and traytables are in the armrest.

Just another A380 seat question.
I'm on 222 DFW-DXB in a few days. I'm confused that seatguru shows no seat in front of 81A and K, but the seat map on Emirates does show there is. (It's strange that in the rear section of the plane where I'm sitting the website is showing a total of nine seats in the whole section. I know that's messed up, but it has pulled up that way for a week now.) I've looked but can't find the definitive answer. Thank you!

DFW usually has the newer frames, although I can see older ones 3 times in the last month.
