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.

Has to be the most uncomfortable seat I have ever sat in on a plane. Looking at other reviews
it appears that the removal of foot rests is the cause of the problem. Inflight entertainment
system was excellent.

Terribly uncomfortable seat. The airline has taken out the footrests for which the seat was
designed. The result is that your feet hang in mid air in any position except bolt upright.
Trying to doze is rewarded by pain in the backs of your thighs from the pressure from the
seat. Avoid at all costs

I've flown Emirates for many years now, and I'm just about to switch allegiances. My work
demands I travel extensively on long haul every year (last year 13 return flights from NZ to
the Middle East, Asia and the US), and the recent decision by Emirates to remove the seat
rests has now made the seats the most uncomfortable of any airline I travel with. I can't
over-emphasize how uncomfortable these seats are (I'm 5'10").

The problem starts with the 3-4-3 seat configuration in all B777's by adding an extra seat to
the normal 3-3-3 configuration. That reduces a lot of seat comfort and legroom. If the flight
is 7 or 8 hours then you have a big problem. By the end of the flight you feel so tired and
your feet pain for at least two days.

I flew AKL to LHR via MEL and DXB, initially on an A340-500 as far as DXB, then switching to
an A380 for the final 7 hour segment. The contrast in seat comfort was very noticeable. I have
long legs (a tailor would say 33 or 34 inches I think) and found that on the A340 I was unable
to stretch them out fully and also that the way the seat reclined cut off my circulation very
uncomfortably. On the A380, even though the curvature of the airframe slightly interfered with
floor space in my window seat, I did not have any difficulties whatsoever. The headrest was
also better, having flexible side flaps and a long distance of travel up and down. The LCD
screens are much improved, being larger and with a better viewing angle that eliminates
problems with a reclining passenger in front of you.

Having an average male height of 176 cm I was not able to reach the floor by my feet during
the flight Dubai-Bangkok-Sydney on Boeing 777-300 ER. After the controversial removal of the
footrests the risk of the deep vein thrombosis disease has increased dramatically and the
passengers are now subjected to unnecessary pain and discomfort. I am not opposing the removal
of the footrests as such if it helps to cut the costs of flying. On my flight on Emirates
Boeing 777-300 Dubai-Moscow I was feeling quite comfortable in a similar cabin configuration
because the height of the seats was much lower!

BKK-DXB on B777-300 ER. With new generation seat that slides forward and up when you recline
your seat, short people like me may have doubled or even tripled our risk of DVT (deep vein
thrombosis) since the configuration will leave our legs hanging in the air with no support
since there were no footrest. The only way out is like what my daughter did, seating in a
lotus position to enable her to sleep in her seat.

HKG-BKK in Y Class, B777-300. Because of the 3x4x3 layout, the seat is on the narrow side,
and even with a small stature the seat width barely accommodates my shoulders. This is an
older seat with regular recline.
