New J 77W seats
Im sure this has been asked before, So yes, I searched but couldnt find!
I have booked J CHC-SYD next April, on EK419, a 777-300ER bound for Dubai via BKK.
Obviously the switch has been made with EK418/419 from AKL-SYD-BKK-DXB and EK412/413 CHC-SYD-DXB.
With this in mind, will my 777-300ER have the new seats with the 19" Screen (I booked on the assumption it would, silly me!!)
I presumed that Emirates is eventually upgrading all the 777-300ERs to have the new seats, and April 09 is a while off yet- But I want to check so I dont get my expectations up!

Check the EK website - what seats are offered on my flights function or whatever it is called (there are links from the schedules/flying with us sections I think). If they say deeply reclining seats in J then you have the old cradles; if lie-flat sleepers then obviously you have the lie-flat sleepers!

I just checked.
For the Date im flying, it wont give me any answer, though if I check for early February when it starts flying, it says "Deep Recline"
Its a long, long time away, surely they will have upgraded by then. I will be more than disappointed if I end up flying the older seats! I just knew I should have gone A380!

EK's website is somewhat unreliable. Given that EK announced last year they will be standarising their long haul J seats, it is fairly reasonable to expect that by at least next year they would have phased out their deeply reclining seats.

Well no, Im not going to be sleeping...
But, when you dont fly that regularly internationally, and you have been saving your points for a wee while, you really want to get the best for your money, or points in this case.

Now the EK website is back up.
I can search up until the 28th March 09, and it says Deep Recline.
From the 29th Onwards, it says, cannot display information blah blah. Is this a sign its changing to the flat beds, or is it just that the system only displays information so far ahead.
