Got to say after just flown on an A380 & 77W in First, I think the suite on the 77W was better. 2K on both flights. 77W felt more spacious. The suite walls definitely higher and the TV seemed bigger (A6-EGY). One previous experience of F class on a 77W and would say the suites were better/more spacious, YMMV.

Thanks Pacman3 and Edgewood49 - good to know the inside suites feel larger. I am travelling with my DH so no worries about my next door neighbour!

enjoy. Hint reserve your shower for an hour or so out, then snack! walk off plane fresh and ready to go. If your on a 380

With the excellent cognac served on EK, I have no trouble seeing 'stars' within 4 hours into the flight (day or night), wherever I sit on the aircraft, Edgewood!

I travelled on a6 eub 80th a380 with new ife - the suites also seem a little roomier and have nice stars (like the ceiling) in the carpet.

It was told to me on my last flight by the purser the new 777 will have higher "walls" and be nicer wonder if you got one ?

Late October. My ad blocker may be preventing the page from loading correctly. I'll check with a different browser.

you simply scroll down to the next page and the upper deck appears providing you are booked in F/J

SeatGuru incorrectly stated the DXB-MRU segments are operated on a 2-class A380 with Y on both decks. I believed it because Y started on Row 41 instead of Row 43.

It appears the DXB-MRU flights are on a 3-class A380 which has Y starting at Row 41.

One of two flights to MRU is a two class 380 with Y on upperdeck (I guess until September)

41/43 depends on 380 type (how many total seats, 401, 429 etc)

Me, my wife and 15 year old daughter are flying DFW to DXB to HKG in August, with EK. I have 2 award seats in First (couldn’t get three) and one paid business seat. Daughter wil be in business. I’m wondering if the FA’s will allow me to switch seats with my daughter for let’s say a few hours. So I can give her also the EK First experience 😉 Any thoughts?

Can't speak for your flight but in the past I have been able to do the same. Suggestion when you board ask the Purser introduce your daughter. Oh, about four days out including the day of flight keep checking FC 'I have had it open on the last day out of CPT to DXB FC

There's every chance that switching and then switching back mid-flight will be frowned upon/not permitted.

Switching at the beginning of the flight for the entire flight is rarely a problem.

Why not just give your daughter the whole DXB-HKG flight?

I know switching between Y & J is not allowed and is frowned upon. Don't know about J & F. I have seen F passengers come in J and take seats next to their friends to chat & go back. But not sure about the other way (J to F)

I think as long as your daughter is not availing the F service, you should be good. So basically, switch between meals. But if she uses the shower or requests for "On demand" F class food, then that probably won't be allowed. The FAs could even object if she decides to sleep in F on a J ticket.

EY actually advertises that you can invite a friend from J to join you for dinner in the apartment I believe. That's the most explicit airline policy on such a matter I believe.
