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.

A lot of flights do go full depending on timing - Jfk is a busy one. My choice is row 2 followed by row 1 and then row 3.

We always have 1K and 2K haha, avoid sitting next to someone for 14+ hours, thats my motto!!
Plus I like to look out of the window even if the curved cabin makes it difficult.
I appreciate this doesn't help you.

That's why row 2/3 a or k is better than 1 on the 380. On the 77w zero difference between 1 and 2.

"Better" because of more space, ... and more distance to walk

Currently booked on a380 JFK-MXP row 23 E and F. Cabin is pretty full, only other options would be row 24, 19, 20.
What do you all think would be the best seats? We're looking for as much quiet as possible and I'm conscious of possible noise from the bar - or have you all found that not many people use the bar on this flight?
Thanks

If you want calm seats, take the most forward ones possible.

Many thanks. I figured it was flight dependent - anyone taken this route in J recently? Was the bar busy? the furthest forward seat open is row 19, which doesn't seem particularly further from the bar than being in the mini cabin at the back.
