77w
 

Hey All,

Anyone have real-life pictures of the 77W in J? I tried a.net but only A340, etc came up.

Thanks,
:)

Have a look on the Emirates website. There's a section which gives pictures of the seat and cabin.

Cheers,
Rick

enjoy :)

Thanks! :D

Note that those pictures are of the new B777-300ER planes only (which is only a minority of the 77W fleet.)

The regular / majority of the 77W's look like this:

thanks for the pics, gotta love those PTVs!

Just to understand your post Sadiq... are all 777-300ER flights in this configuration hope so as I just upgraded HAM-JFK in march.

The lie-flat / big TV J seats are only on some 777-300ER flights. The majority of them still have the older cradle seats.

Cheers

Hi Sadiq,

Is it possible to tell which of the 777-300er's have the new seats? I am booked on EK004 (LHR-DXB) J Class on 20 March 2007. Assume this is quite a popular route/time so hoping that they may have a new plane.

Any input (especially re. plane and best seat in J class) would be very greatly received.

Many thanks,

Benji

My two flights HAM-JFK-HAM this month had the "old" cradle seats, which are still quiet comfortable.

Look out if you're on a overnight flight, though. When those seats recline they're right in your lap, pinning your feet and legs to the leg rest if it's up.

A comparison of the 2 777-300ER Business Class seats are available over here: http://www.emirates.com/miniSites/Bo...firstCabin.asp

No they don't. You weren't on a 77W (as as been pointed out at least twice). The pitch on the 77W is far better than the old 777-300.

I might be wrong on this one, but from my experiences with EK over the last three or four years the strategy is to use new planes on new routes in order to get the business running and use rather old planes for very popular routes.

I got a brand spanking new plane about a month ago on the DXB-BKK route. I'm pretty sure that is not a new route, but, rather a very popular route.

Holy ghost, those screens are soooo biiiggg...:eek:

I don't think this is true. The MAN-DXB route has been around for about 15 years, and this has recently been upgraded to a 77W. A lot of the new routes tend to start with an A330, and get upgraded if the route is successful.

Cheers,

London Gatwick 330-200
 

Interesting though about the upgrade on the route. Does this mean that the LGW last flight out to dubai is not that sucessful or do you think it is ripe for an upgrade to a new 77WER ?

Wrong. See post #5. That's where I was seated, and when that seat reclines it's in your lap. It would be fine for premium economy, but a poor imitation of C on many other carriers.

The Emirates website listed it as a 77W on my itinerary. So who knows their planes better, you or Emirates?

What a childish comment. If you'd actually bothered reading this forum to any great extent, you'd know that Emirates regularly switch aircraft type. So, although your itinerary showed a 77W, the plane you actually flew on was almost certainly an older 777-300 - as it didn't have ICE, and had 44" pitch.

Unless of course, Emirates have some 77W's that have the old configuration - in which case I apologise.

Cheers,
Rick

EK changes planes VERY frequently (Very, very frequently actually) except on routes such as DXB-JFK, where specific planes are needed.
