Recently booked a flight today consisting of BHX-DXB-BKK-DXB-BHX.

In a mixed class of outbound biz and return Econ.

When i went and picked my seats i found that the EK384 segment had the 1st from of Biz stated as Row 7 through to Row 11 ..
But on the seat maps it shows Row 7 or appears to be in its own cabin on the EK site when selecting seat's as showed row 8 as having Bassinets then Row 9 - 11 as normal seats.

Seams a bit of a strange seat layout .... as only having one row of Biz then what appears a galley followed by main cabin.

Is this a new config plane as unsure if this route is being upgraded to a 3 class route.

Aircraft shown to operate is 773 not the 77W

Any idea's ....

As will be using me miles to upgrade on the rtn leg

cheers

Hi,
I've struggled with the config on the various EK 777's now and in the past.If biz class starts at row 6(held back for kiddies so not visible in MMB) it's a 3 class a/c with rows 6,7 then galley then rows 8-11.
We fly LHR>>DXB>>BKK in Dec and two legs on 777/300ER one on 777/300 and finally A380. The 777 legs all show as 3 class in MMB(384 is not one of them by the way)
hope this is of some help.

BKK will be upgraded to a 3-class station. All BKK flights will be progressively upgraded to 3-class during 2008.

Emirates777 .... thanks for the info and that for sure will explain the reason then....

So look's like i will be in a smaller cabin featuring possibly 2 rows in biz rather than the main big one after the galley
