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.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
