Emirates Seating Guide
A380
First:

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.

Are both sectors showing the same seat map?
It doesn't look like any layout I've seen on an EK 777 before as most have Rows 6 and 7 in a mini cabin, then a galley and toilets, then Rows 8 to 11 in another cabin.
However, IAH to DXB has been consistently getting flown by the aircraft with the new J seats recently (there only are about 8 of them). It looks like you'll be on one of these, which is good, but I've never read or heard about a new layout as you describe on these.

That was the less important of the 3 things I asked they could occasionally have a 2-class or a 3-class with or without crew rest (not sure if it affects J Cabin layout).
Generally speaking though all 3-class as mentioned up-thread have the 2-row mini cabin rows 6-7 and then the main cabin where 8 is the bulkhead

OP. It would be good if you could report back what you actually find on board. It may just be a programming error.

I got the screenshot too, and then noticed it had all been new planes recently which made me wonder if there was a change. I'm sure we would have heard already if that was the case though, hence the request for feedback.

Extra legroom seating
Hi,
I'm flying Eco EK58 DUS > DXB on September 27 and am curious about buying seats with extra legroom.
Now the seatmap on Emirates.com shows row 24 and 37 with the extra legroom at 85 Euro.
Is this an Exit-Row seat or is it bulkhead behind the wall? The later would be suboptimal.
Thanks for the help.
