Emirates Passenger Seat Tip : 18th October 2007
Business Class : Boeing 777-300
AVOID row 8 (front row of second J class cabin)! This row is last to be served: post take of drink
on LHR-DXB sector took 1 hour 15 mins; dinner service 1 hour 40 minutes.
Emirates Passenger Seat Tip : 4th April 2007
First Class : Airbus A340-500
If travelling together select seats 2E,2F. This is the middle row of 3 rows (seat layout 1-2-2). Row 1 gets the brunt of the traffic to the
toilets and lights/clatter of the kitchen. Row 3 is against the cabin wall, just in front of
business. However, when the suite doors are closed, you will not know what the other pax are doing.

Pick an E or F seat if travelling alone, so that if the person next to needs to get out of the seat
they want disturb you (and vice versa)

The best seat rows are 10 and 11. They are in the middle of the main Business cabin, meaning food
is served promptly and there is limited noise from Economy and the Galley in front of row 8.

As bulkhead seats and exit-rows are usually prebooked by EK frequent
flyers and middle rows at bulkheads reserved for pax with infants (due
to baby-bassinets) there is another solution for tall pax on the 777's.
The config is 3-4-3 but 'jumps' to 2-4-2 towards the back of the tail
part of the plane. The window seats especially (the sets of 2, not the
middle row!) at the first row of 2-4-2 are angled from the row in front
and provide loads of extra leg space. The seat numbers are for the
777-200 : 37A and 37K. The seat numbers are for the 777-300: 46A and
46K. Check-in staff does not know this and therefore these seats are
not categorized as extra-spacious but trust me.

Avoid row 1. If you are more that 1.7meters tall you cannot even stretch your legs out
fully because of the bulkhead.
Emirates Passenger Seat Tip
Business Class : Airbus A330 (2 class config)
Avoid Economy seats 10 A and K, as these are window seats - without a window!
