I have never been able to book 6K (bassinet seat) and have always opted for 7K. It indeed has a missing window so if you want to see the rather iconic view when landing at CPT, you may have to choose a K seat in the 'main' J cabin.

If the wind is Northerly and you land in the other direction, there is no 'iconic view' so it's not really important in that case. Prevailing wind is South but in winter probably 50/50.

Yep, there is a chance of a northerly wind, however in that case an A seat also won't help as Table Mountain isn't in a direct line of sight from the approach for runway 01 due to Devil's Peak being in the way. In that case I'd actually still argue for a K seat as the tight right-hand 180 degree turn just off the coast is quite beautiful and you get to look straight down at the water and beach, depending on how far out they fly for the turn.

Hi,

What is the best single window seat in First class on A380 and 77W? Are any seats bigger or have more windows? Is A or K side prefferable.

Thanks for your tips.

I believe common consensus is 2A/K on the A380 with a slight preference for K

I have found that even the first row is fine. The way the suites are set up door closed there is no difference at least to me. On the 77W I would sit further forward as the bulkhead in Biz is also a bassinet row !! Once had a family with baby there! Also note that the last row in FC is also a baby row !!

Although a very small sample of 1 flight in F, I found 1A fine. Didn't hear any noise from the galley or any increased foot traffic from the crew or other pax going to the toilet. The J bulkhead bassinet seat would have me steering clear of row 2 in case of possible noise (hence I've chosen 1A for my next two flights).

Safe & Happy Travels

When are you flying? We are going to China in sept

Good choice ! I hear tell the "new" 777 will have improved F with higher dividers in FC and the new biz seats

Departing PEK on 1st July. Not sure if I'll be heading back this way or not.

First time on Emirates, traveling J from DXB to JFK (A380), got a side aisle seat. Will need to work in flight.

The J class seat has a small table space- for window side aisle seats, it is on your left and for window seats, it is on your right.

1. Is that little table space enough to keep a 14" laptop & work? Or food table tray is the better option?

2. Being right handed, should I then think about an aisle seat from the middle section, especially one with the table space to my right?

Thx

You'll need to use the tray table.

Thanks. I figured it would be better for my posture to use the tray table.

BTW, any reviews on seat 23A on the 380 Business Class? It cleared up and I booked it. Anybody know what is in the area separating the large cabin (rows 6-21) and the mini cabin (rows 22-26). The bar is after row 26.

There is nothing there have a look on google maps of the plane.

23a and K are the most private (save for the vase issue :D)

"Nothing" as in no galley or toilets. There are closets there.

EK 779 - CPT to DXB - "angled lie flat" or "sleeperette"
 

Can someone confirm if EK 779 features the "angled lie flat" Business class or the very old "sleeperette" seats.

The Emirates website has contradictory info ... "on your flight" shows 'lie flat' whereas the aircraft chart shows sleeperette for the 2 class 777-300ER
