Emirates

Good seat was able to sleep. The bottom half moves forward when the back is reclined offering better comfort.

It was my first flight with Emirates and with an A380 and I (192m) had enough space for my long legs which is not usual in economy-class when you are tall. While I slept my legs touched the seat in front of me but I'm used to that. People of "normal" size shouldn't have problems with the space. The TV-Screen and the entertainment system was very good and had a large choice of movies and music.

The Boeing 777 was not designed for 3x4x3 seating. It's horrible and if you have the misfortune to be seated next to a larger person your 11 hour flight is truly miserable. Never again - Qatar for me from now on.

All good except for the horrible cushioning. I had to tuck 3 pillows under me for the entire 7 hour flight.

First time on a B777-300ER. Seat 45C was the last seat before the rows with two seats started. Good recline (no one behind) but narrow seat and aisles are way too narrow so bumped constantly. Noisier than A380 so a long way (DBX-SYD) to put up with discomfort.

Manchester to Dubai. There were 3 of us travelling (2 adults and a 5 year old) and we had 3 of the centre 4 seats. Row 36 had a wall behind it but the seat seemed to fully recline and we could store pillows etc behind the seat and no one could kick us. We were close to the galley and toilet but that did not bother us. The seat had the new ICE which was fantastic with a huge range of movies tv shows and music and widescreen monitor. We were not bothered by the 4 seats in the middle it did not seem overly cramped and the lack of a footrest was fine. The recline was very good seat comfortable and I was able to stretch my legs under the seat in front. I am 5'11 and 15 stones. The food was very good and good choice of drinks.

Extremely difficult to get in and out if you are sitting not beside the aisle. Situation gets worse if you get a fairly big size passenger. Consolation was the in flight entertainment.

I flew Auckland to London with a 9 month old and I thought cabin crew and bulk head seats were excellent. I was nervous about flying on my own with a baby but had no problems. The passengers I sat next to we're very friendly and helpful which was a godsend. A380's have great space if you need to stretch your legs (this is compared to other planes you are still in a plane you're not going to be able to jog around). Food nice entertainment looked excellent seats were hard so had to try and work it a comfy position. Probably impossible. They weren't worse than a lot of other airlines. Didn't like Dubai airport - so busy and airside hotel not open in the A380 terminal and after asking unhelpful customer services how I could get to the other terminals I only had an hour and they only had smoking rooms.

Flew IAD-DXB in 28A and then DXB-IAD in 46K. The reviews you will read about the 2x4x2 section at the very rear of the aircraft are true. 46K had more legroom space between the seat and the window and an overall feeling of a bit more privacy. The cons to 46K are that the armrest between 46J and K is a permanent one that cannot be raised or lowered. This might have eaten into the already slim seat width a bit but it did not bother me being 5'8" and average size. Another con to being at the very back of the plane is that it takes a long time to deplane and they were out of the meal I wanted by the time they got to me. 28A was just fine but only because there was no one in the middle seat next to me. Originally there was and after the doors we closed the FA came and found him an aisle seat to move to. Before he moved however I was already sore from leaning against the window just so our shoulders wouldn't touch. Had he stayed there the entire 13.5 hr flight that would have been terrible. The 3x4x3 layout overall is a bad idea for passenger comfort. Not only are the seats shoulder- touchingly narrow but the other comments you've read about the aisle width are very true. I had to sidestep down the aisles to try and avoid bumping other passengers. And at meal/drink service time? Forget it. I did not have a problem with the lack of a footrest as some have commented. Sure it would have been nice to have but my feet touched the floor just fine and I'm 5'8". If this is a problem for you I'd suggest using your carry on or as I read in a different forum bring a beach ball with you. When not inflated it takes up almost no room it costs $1 and if you partially inflate it it won't roll and makes a good makeshift footrest.

Seats 46A-B 46J-K and the same in row 47 are good seats on the B777. This is where the plane narrows so seating is now 2-4-2. There are 4 rows with 2 seats left and right but the best seats are row 46/47 you are far enough away from the toilets not to be bothered by pax queuing.
