Emirates negotiates big deal with Boeing

Flew on a 777-300ER on my way out this year, then flew back on the 380. Have to say I prefer the configuration on the 777-300

Funny how we can have different views on our flying experiences Simon.

We actually prefered the A380-800. We selected a pair of seats on the upper deck and found them to be roomy and comfortable.
The service was brilliant as economy section upstairs is quite small.
The 2 x 4 x 2 seating configuation appeals to us as it seems more private than the 3 x 4 x 3 configuation.
We'd definitely choose that again. Would even pay a little extra too.

We've been on the 777-300 with premium 2 x 4 x 2 seating configuation, but couldn't get the seat for two reasons, one is there's very few of them and secondly they're costed at a too significant premium

I know the actually economy seating space is probably the same but being on the upper deck with just a pair of seats seemed more spacious.

Just my opinion
