Emirates Passenger Seat Tip : 7th February 2010
Business Class : Airbus A380
Having travelled on the Dubai to Sydney leg on the A380 do not reserve seat 9E, I did on both
legs, they were different A380's but the seat would not do as described, would not recline ,
had to be reset manually, had been like this for at least 6months, Emirates deny any fault had
been reported, deny that they have ever had a problem and are trying to tell me to go away and
not bother them. The staff were most helpful on the outward leg but the heavy mob arrived when
I complained on boarding in Sydney, even suggesting that I leave the plane! I have flown with
them many times but would be reluctant to do so again as lightning might just strike three
times.
Emirates Passenger Seat Tip : 19th October 2009
Economy Class : B777-300 (2 class cabin layout)
Avoid 7C and 7H at all costs! The seats are directly in line with the passage through the
aircraft. 'Everyone', especially including the food carts, bumps into you or the seat when
coming through the curtains.
Emirates Passenger Seat Tip : 11th October 2009
Economy Class : A340-500
16B is spacious. It's the first row right after the business class cabin and offers around 2.5
windows' spaces while other economy seats on the same aircraft type occupy around 1.5 window's
spaces only.
Emirates Passenger Seat Tip : 19th January 2009
Business Class : A380-800
Avoid row 6 and 23 due to less legroom and weird seats. Seat 6A has a big cupboard next to it
which makes it slightly smaller and harder to access the aisle.
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.

Business Class : Airbus A340-500
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.

Economy Class : Boeing 777-200/300
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!
