I'm booked round-trip from Toronto to Auckland via Dubai in First Class next year in May 1, 2024. I'm not sure if my A380 will have the new looks or old looks?
I don't think any of the A380s have the completely renewed first class that you'll find on the 777s. However, I think you'll have a fantastic time even on the old one. Even their old first class is outstanding and one of the best. Enjoy your trip! (I love Auckland!)
It's mind boggling to me that Emirates still doesn't offer direct aisle access in business class on their 77Ws. I know they have made the 77W more of a regional plane now but still it is so behind the times compared to other top carriers including Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, and Qatar Airways. The fact that United has Polaris on all their internationally equipped wide body jets tells youj that Emirates is lagging in this department. Finally, I think the wood grain between the windows is a very tacky look. Emirates A380 is a nice way to fly but the fact that these planes are sometimes deployed on flights to North America and Australia is abysmal.
On the 777, in first class, I would take window+aisle seats (although, talking might still be a bit challenging), window seats in business class would be perfect since there are two seats next to each other. On the a380, middle seats in first and business class (odd numbers are closer together in business) or window seats in premium economy would be great. In economy on both planes, pretty much any seats should be fine. Rows 46-50 on the 777 have only two seats by the window, so those might be preferable (although closer to the lavs at the back).
fantastic video. Wonderful Emirates service in any class.
Thank you! Emirates is indeed a great airline.
first class suite is better on the 777 but you dont get a shower and a bar so i would still take the a380
The middle business class seats are 3 rows. Getting stuck in the middle is not fun on this 700-300. The middle row in the 700-200 is better

It’s referred as the “Triple 7”
I was trying to trigger you. You're lucky I didn't call it "seven hundred and seventy-seven".
Like your comments. If you are wanting to talk with your partner, which class on which plane is the most condusive to an easy conversation?
