Do you really need a window seat when all you will see for 90% of the flight is the ocean

there are a lot of people that like window seats. makes more isle seats available:cool:

Doing IAH - DXB - SIN with the gf in March in F. It's A380 ---> 77W with all F seats currently open.

I've tentatively selected 1E/F on both flights. Any reason to change or should I just call it a day with that?

Their fine we had the two behind you not knowing that the 3rd row was the "baby" row sucked all the way to Dubai

:rolleyes:

How would you like a baby crying the majority of the time in FC as you know how they configure the "baby seat" it makes for not so pleasant time for the seat in front of them. And when you have parents that do not display proper decorum it makes it worse. We booked row 1 next month

Two tier A380 seats 12E and F
 

My wife and I will be flying on the new 2 class A380 from Manchester in March next year in J seats 12 E and F any comments on the seat or location, on the Emirates seat map there appears to be a large gap to the row behind us, would that indicate a bulkhead?
I picked these seats because of the full length lay flat seat, if there is a bulkhead would it inhibit the lay flat.
Thanks in anticipation and seasons greetings to all on the site.

I've just had a look on Manage a Booking at the seat map, as I've got one coming up on the 2-class A380. I can't see any gap behind Row 12 that is different from most other rows. The exception is between Rows 16 and 19, which is the change in cabin with storage space, bulkhead etc.

The only think I can think you're seeing is that the row behind you is marked as disabled accessible, which might make the image slightly off.

Sorry to hear you have been landed with the new 2 class variant of the A380! It will be interesting to hear feedback on what it is like.

Who cares about babies crying in F - that's what noise cancelling headphones (provided by EK) and earplugs are for... As for parents, just close the door and don't see them...

If all else fails, get blind drunk :D

I booked the 3 class all the way ro Australia return and the first leg to Dubai has been replaced with the 2 class. They changed our seats from row 14 ( in front cabin) to row 20, single cabin. I will post on the difference between the 2 classes.

Yea right if you close the door thats only vertical what about the top?

You mean other passengers are loitering outside your suite?

If the parents are looming over your suite wall repeatedly and disruptively, I'd tell them to f*ck off, politely of course! and bring it to crew attention. :D

If the kids are climbing over the wall and dropping things on you, then tell the parents and the crew.

If it's just noise, then the earplugs and noise headphones work very well. I sympathise if you want to talk to your travel companion, but one can always decamp to the front/back bar or galley.

My circumstances were the same, I also booked all the way to Oz on a A380 in J however when they changed the aircraft to the two class they didn't change my seats at all, so my wife and I were sat separate, until I changed the seats, It's the only part of the trip from Manchester to Dubai so it's not the end of the world. I will report back on my thoughts.

Shame. You'll have to ask for a refund of Alaska air miles. :rolleyes:
