Yes.

Thanks! I've got this set up and now have months to look forward to it.

I normally hate the A380 but was impressed by the 23k seat. Its like an F suite ( a poor man's version of course)

Totally private as long as you ignore the reflection of the person sitting in 22G ( on the silver flower vase).

In fact after the last few flights in K seats on the 380 , I actually prefer it to the 777.

However while travelling with mrsukdoctor I usually end up with the E/F seats which are not great as neither of us gets the window . Of course there are no windows for the E/F seats in F either but at least it is more spacious.

Nothing that can't be solved with a pair of eye shades :D;).

Safe & Happy Travels

We had 2K and 3K the other week - great choice. Enjoy!:)

Very good option,you can also use the lounges for f&b. Book early (prices from AED700+) and you get met a the gate and escorted to the hotel.Do not pay extra for Exec room-poor f&b and the coffee machine and massage chair need a Science degree to master...

You are very kind with your time and advise. Once this trip is had, one less thing on the bucket list. Thank you very much!!

Many thanks for this counsel...Will book shortly. Do I want to book in Concourse A as am flying in on an A380 and flying out on one too. Thanks again!

There's no easy answer to this; the A380 can arrive at - and depart from - Concourse A, B or (occasionally) C. My approach is to just book the Concourse A hotel and hope for the best. I choose A as I prefer the lounge there which I use for meals during the transit. But it means sometimes I've had to take the train from B to A on arrival or hike to concourse C for departure.

On one occasion my flight arrived at B; the hotel person meeting me at the gate made a phone call and got me switched from the A concourse hotel to the B concourse one. :) It was probably one of the midnight arrivals with a 10 hour transit so I was glad to save time at that point.

Very helpful post. Thank you!!

Is this review in the 'Emirates Seating Guide' with regards to seat 1A on the emirates 777 referring to the new 777-200LR, or the ER?

Both the 777-200LR and 777-300ER have identical F cabin layouts - the reduced space is in the Y cabin.

Hi,

It will be my first long haul flight from Dubai to Perth. Its almost 11 hrs non-stop flight. I have never traveled with A380 therefore really excited to experience this superb jumbo flight.

I have below question.

1) Will be travelling with economy class, so is it possible to have economy seat in upper deck ?

2) Which seat in economy have below characteristics:
a) good leg space
b) away from toilet / lavatory
c) window side
d) can easily enter/exit seat without disturbing other passengers

Finally, what else is there to look / enjoy in A380 which is not there in normal planes ?

Thanks
Viki

There is a site seatguru.com that will help you.

Sadly for you, the A380-800 that you'll be on doesn't have Y seats on the upper deck.

Can't say there is much that is unique to see on the A380 but you will have a comfortable ride. The humidity and pressure are more favorable for the flight which can help reduce travel fatigue.

EK also have a features on your flight section of their website. It shows amenities for the flight you'll be taking.
