Emirates Economy Class Customer seat reviews

EMIRATES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 8 August 2010 by John Broussard (USA)

I don't like that you can't get your seat assigned on some legs (Dubai-Houston) until checking in. The 3-4-3 seat arrangement in Economy makes for extremely narrow seats, which create an uncomfortable flight experience. Sitting in an aisle seat means your shoulder will be banged repeatedly by anyone walking by or by passing carts. It is reason to fly another airline.

Flying Emirates was the most uncomfortable flight we have ever done. I was expecting the seat to be narrow, but the width was OK. Legroom was not too bad, but my legs dangled in mid-air the entire time, with horrible discomfort under the lower thighs. Also, the seating is incredibly hard and unyielding, just couldn't get my head comfortable and my shoulders and neck still ache 3 days post-flight. We could not sleep on the Dubai-Perth leg, as the people behind found the legroom too short and kept pushing our seats back whenever we reclined them. Terribly uncomfortable, we will never fly with them again.

Do not travel on these Emirates aircraft. The seats are excruciatingly uncomfortable as the footrests have been removed. This causes pressure behind the lower thighs since there is no other leg support. It is virtually impossible to get comfortable. After 16 hours I was exhausted. Many passengers complained - response from Emirates has been disappointing.

Seats 35 E/F on A330 - awful seats. I would recommend that others avoid these seats - poor legroom, poor width, poor armrests.

Seats are too narrow and has been said many times, the configuration means narrow aisles.

EMIRATES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 27 May 2010 by Clive Baldwin (UK)

I had an aisle seat but was totally cramped, seat width was terrible, I was struck on the shoulder, quite violently by passing trolleys more than four times. My knees touched the seat in front and of course the person in front reclined his seat making the screen virtually unviewable and the meals tray inaccessible.

The lack of a footrest made it uncomfortable even for a tall guy like me. I am lean, but I think these seats will be uncomfortable for a stocky person. The 3x4x3 is a bad idea for long haul economy flights (mine was a 9 hour flight) - you end up feeling like really being packed in a can of sardines. The service wasn't the best either.

Terrible experience, flying from DXB into JFK. They need to re-work their seating configuration or their seating dimensions. No footrests makes it even worse.

The seats are far too cramped for my liking and seat configuration on long-haul flights is terrible.. Like most other reviewers, I would say they should put the foot rest back! Also the seats could be a little softer!

EMIRATES ECONOMY CLASS SEAT REVIEW  - 10 November 2009 by David Russell (UK)

Economy seat at back of cabin where layout is 2x4x2. I am over 1.9m tall and had no problem on the flight from LHR to DXB. If there was a criticism it was that the seat cushions are quite firm.

Wide and comfortable seat. For a 1.86 tall person like me, it's usually a must to get exit or bulkhead seat, but on the A380 it felt good even on a normal seat.
