Business class on an Emirates A380 aircraft. Cabin layout and best seats on the Airbus A380 of Emirates airlines. Arrangement of seats in the rows: where is it more convenient to sit?

So, I am in Terminal 3 of Dubai International Airport, one of the largest in the world, in sector A, where the gates for Airbus A380 aircraft are located. I just saw the A380 live for the first time, from window 77W while taxiing to the parking lot, and in 2 hours I will have to fly on this type of aircraft! Flight EK372, STD - 09:35 (GMT+4), STA - 18:40 (GMT+7). Despite the fact that I didn’t get enough sleep, I’m all in anticipation of a big event in my life.

The terminal has many Duty-free shops and great prizes that one of the lucky customers will win.

There is also a thematic department. I wonder if the black A380 livery actually existed?

Interactive terminal diagram

The terminal is quite large in size. For ordinary passengers there are travelators...

And for those with status - electric cars

Outside, it begins to get light and the silhouette of the symbol of Dubai - the Burj Khalifa skyscraper - appears.

You can go whale watching (the A380's nickname is whalejet). Probably, it is at Dubai airport that their concentration is greatest in the world.

Qantas and Emirates are partners and have codeshare flights, but are not members of any of the three global airline alliances.

The B77L is the longest-range aircraft in the world (provided that additional fuel tanks are installed, but all operators of this type of aircraft have abandoned them)

Passenger storage areas are located on the floor below. To enter you must present your boarding pass.

Boarding time is approaching, and I go to the drive of my gate A16. Passengers are divided into groups according to the part of the cabin where the seat is located. I'm in group A, which makes me happy.

Boarding is open, the dream is starting to come true!

The hero of this review is the A380-800 A6-EEO. At the time of the flight, the plane was a little over 2 years old. The lower deck is completely occupied by economy, the upper deck is first class and business. Each deck has its own jet bridges, so that economy class passengers do not overlap with privileged ones.

The forward economy cabin is where I will spend the next 6 hours. The colors are subtle and pleasant.

My seat is 47A with one porthole.

The internal opening of the window is huge, but the external one is very small - like on the A330. Apparently, due to the fact that the huge fuselage was made as light as possible, it was impossible to make larger holes. In terms of viewing angle, this is an absolute minus.

There is a lot of space, very spacious. In my experience, only the Transaero B773 cabin was more spacious (eternal memory to them!) If the same seats were available in the Emirates B777 (which is only possible with a 3-3-3 layout), then the airline would fully deserve 5 stars. But it seems that the comfort of economy class passengers is not an absolute priority for the EC, since some of the ordered A380s will have a 3-5-3 layout.

In the seat pocket there is a blanket, headphones and a Safety Card.

The adjacent chair is free, thanks to which personal space increases by one and a half times. A kind of compensation for the narrow seats in 77W.

The latest generation IFE system is not only a touchscreen display, but also a control panel. However, I did not use it during the flight, and I cannot talk about its properties.

There are all kinds of connectors, including USB, which is so necessary on long-distance flights

The top panel has individual airflow deflectors

Through the slightly open door one can see the holy of holies - the cockpit and throttles that control the monstrous thrust of four engines.

The landing is over. The teletrap moves away. Drum roll... and the window offers a gorgeous view of the Engine Alliance GP7270 engines - that's why I chose this place. The GP7270 is a joint product of GE Aviation and Pratt & Whitney, and is the same size as the RR Trent 800 engines from the older B773/772.

The displays show instructions in case of emergency

On the platform is the kingdom of Emirates. Only in the distance are British Airways and Lufthansa modestly visible

It is surprising that Emirates, in an effort to keep costs per passenger and compact cabins on the 77W and A380 as low as possible, has not yet retired the power-hungry A340.

Finally, it’s our turn to take off. This is a must see! The engines operate quietly during takeoff, and the double-deck hulk easily and imperceptibly lifts off the runway after a relatively short takeoff run. The “fasten your seat belts” sign goes out after flight level FL150.

It's time for lunch. On a 6-hour flight, food is served once and then only drinks are offered.

The food is again very tasty and again melts in your mouth very quickly.

Now you can walk around the salon. The A380 is less than a meter in length than the 77W, but in Boeing, due to the fact that the front part of the plane is always busy with business, you can’t walk around the entire plane, but here it’s easy.

The wing is the size of a football field. The winglet looks “old-fashioned”, like on the middle-aged A320, but the beautiful “cunning” wing, like the B748, B787 and A350, on this monster would not fit into the wingspan restrictions (80 meters) imposed by airport infrastructure.

Below is the flat part of India, the landscapes are monotonous and boring, and there is a haze in the sky, onto which the plane, along with its wake, casts a shadow.

The sun gradually moves towards the tail of the plane, to the west.

6 hours - is it a lot or a little? If you're flying from Moscow to Irkutsk on a cramped B737, that's certainly a lot. If you fly from Dubai to Bangkok on an A380, it's insignificant, as if you were given a piece of candy that instantly melted in your mouth. I think that on such an airplane a flight like Dubai - Sydney can be easily sustained even in economy.

The flight is coming to an end, the plane is descending, making turns over the night Bangkok, before landing at Suvanapumi airport.

On the way to the terminal we pass the A380 from Doha.

The flight is over.

When I ask to leave through the upper deck, they politely refuse. On the one hand, it’s a pity - it would be interesting to go upstairs and look at the luxurious first class cabins. On the other hand, jogging along the top for several minutes is only poisonous to the soul. To appreciate its advantages (as you know, “the upper and lower decks of the A380 are two different aircraft”) you need to fly. Emirates has some A380s with an upper-deck economy layout and sometimes flies them on flights to Bangkok. But the return flight to Dubai took place on a plane identical to the one discussed in this review, and in the same way I was not allowed up. Maybe next time...

The path to passport control lies along a long passage with travelators, decorated with cute flower installations

Welcome to the Land of Smiles!

I get my luggage, look for an exchanger with the correct rate (it’s called Value+, it’s red and is located on the lower level near the exit to the trains into the city), then I buy a SIM card at the DTAC store (at the arrivals level) and go to Phaya Thai station at train for 45 baht.

Thank you for your attention! The next review will be devoted to the flight Bangkok - Krabi on the Boeing 737-900ER Thai Lion Air.

After the airline showed an “encrusted” fuselage whose fuselage literally shines with crystals, photographs of an airliner appeared on the Internet, in which the first class cabin is lined with real diamonds.

User opinions are divided. Some find such a solution vulgar, others claim that this cannot happen in principle.

The iconic oval bar in the first class cabin of the new A380 has been given a completely new design.

Instead of a laconic and very conservative atmosphere with a predominance of muted soft orange light and white wooden panels, designed in a buffet format, “premium” passengers are greeted by the dazzling shine of diamond inlay on all surfaces: from the bar counter and tables to the framing of portholes and wall openings.

Comfortable armchairs have appeared, the seats of which are also diamond (I wonder how comfortable it is to sit?!), and the backs are made of light leather. The ceiling is also lined with precious crystals, which shimmer effectively, illuminated by deep violet.

But this is only part of the luxury and comfort offered to first class travelers by Emirates Airlines. This is explained in the attached video about a flight on a Boeing 777-300ER from Dubai to Brussels. The flight lasts a full 7 hours, which is why it is so important for the airline to provide its VIP clients with the best possible conditions.

Actually, the elite class begins long before the flight.
Passengers are provided with a round-trip transfer. Moreover, the cars in the airline’s fleet intended for transportation to and from the airport are exclusively luxury Mercedes and BMW models.

Arriving at Dubai airport, a “first-class” person immediately finds himself in an atmosphere of high luxury, where everything is created to satisfy every whim. This place becomes the waiting room and passport control. Huge spaces, few people, silence, many counters where documents are checked and luggage is checked in. There is also a lounge area, a duty-free store, and a food court with gourmet cuisine.

The airliner has only 6 single “suites” cabins. The center of each (in every sense) is a high and wide ergonomic transformable chair. The cabins are spacious, have high ceilings and are designed in a contemporary style in varying shades of grey, with soft lighting overhead.

In front of the chair there is a laptop, the lid of which can be “recessed” into the desk, behind and above which there is a wide-screen 32-inch monitor of the infotainment center. Enjoy 2,500 TV, film, entertainment, news and sports channels from around the world. According to those who often fly first class from various companies, this service from Emirates is perhaps the best.

To the left of the TV is a minibar with a small selection of soft and cold drinks. And to the right of the chair is another monitor. This is a service monitor, it reflects the time and distance of the flight, and provides a detailed virtual map of the locations over which the flight passes. At the bottom of the monitor there are buttons for calling stewards and information content.

Before the flight, a small selection of oriental sweets and Arabic coffee are offered.
The taxiing process can be viewed not only through the windows. The entire visual range is also broadcast to the service monitor, on which you can see what the aircraft captain is seeing at the moment.

We're flying

Behind the front door is a small cabinet with bed linen folded inside, and a small monitor outside showing the temperature and light level inside the suite.

Passengers are offered an individual hygiene kit. It includes shaving accessories, toothpaste and brush, cosmetics and perfume from Bulgari. To see in detail what is happening at the moment in the air or on the ground, powerful binoculars are provided.

Dinner

According to the menu, you can order whatever you want, whenever you want.
The wine list also offers the best drinks from around the world, including aged brands of legendary cognacs and whiskeys, and the bartenders will make any cocktail upon your request.

Dream

The transformable chair converts into a wide and spacious bed with a length of 218 cm. It is made using “zero gravity” technology developed by NASA. It involves creating a weightless effect and maximum relaxation. With several preset light modes, you can choose the most optimal one for relaxation.

Landing

After 7 hours of flight in a relaxing and tranquil environment of elite comfort, the Boeing 777-300ER lands softly at Brussels Airport. Overall, the flight was very pleasant also because it was almost silent: the sound insulation was so well done.

Price

The price of a first class ticket for a flight from Dubai to Brussels will cost you about 600,000 rubles.

Let us add that Emirates Airlines is the most “flyable” brand, its fleet of aircraft is one of the most numerous and modern and has more than 260 aircraft, of which 150 are Boeing 777s.

They fly to 80 countries around the globe.

There are a huge number of different airliners in the world, but the Airbus A380-800 is the aircraft that is really worth paying attention to. There are not very many similar airliners on the planet. The fact is that this is the largest passenger wide-body aircraft, equipped with two decks. Let's consider what technical characteristics the A380 has, as well as the layout of the A380 aircraft cabin.

In order to understand how large and spacious the Emirates A380 is, you need to understand its technical characteristics in detail. Let's start with how much the Airbus A380 weighs. So, the mass of the aircraft is:

without passengers - 276 thousand kg;
without passengers and fuel - 361 thousand kg;

As for other parameters, the capacity of the Airbus A380 is 853 people in a single-class model and 525 passengers in a three-class cabin. The length of the aircraft is 72.7 meters, height – 24 meters, and wingspan – 79 meters.

Extra options:

wing area – 844 m2;
take-off length – 2000 m;
run length – 3000 m;
a path capable of covering 15,000 km when fully loaded;
fuel tank capacity – 310 thousand liters.

This airliner has a special cockpit for pilots, where the most modern technologies have been introduced. The A380 is equipped with a glass cockpit and remote control of the steering wheel when operating electric drives. As for the devices on which data is displayed, this aircraft has 9 interchangeable LCD screens, of which:

2 are for navigation data;
2 main ones for flight information;
2 indicators of the functioning of fuel units;
2 – multifunctional;
1 main one, which shows general information.

If we talk about engines, they are super powerful and modern. Mixtures of aviation kerosene with GTL from environmentally friendly gas are used as fuel. Composite materials are used in the design of this aircraft. Weldable aluminum alloys are also used.

Detailed diagram of the Airbus A380-800 aircraft

As for the noise level, the Emirates A380 engines are practically inaudible. This makes it significantly superior to the Boeing 747. The airliner also has high air pressure, which is another of its features. Both decks are connected by a comfortable and spacious staircase. Although it is not easy for passengers whose seats are located near these stairs, because it is very difficult to fall asleep if you are constantly walking. But some still buy tickets for them.

The cabin width is 5.9-6.5 m. In the one-class version, passengers are offered 700 seats, and in the three-class version – 555 seats. There is also a shower, a lounge, a bar and a store on board. Let’s take a closer look at the layout of the cabin of this aircraft, as well as the best places for long-distance flights.

Airbus A380-800 Emirates: interior layout

Thanks to the photo of the Airbus A380 interior attached to this article, you can see how the passenger seats are located. The ship has two floors in total. On the 2nd there are seats for first and business class tourists. The 1st floor is designed for those flying in economy class. First class is more comfortable. Even those passengers who are having a hard time traveling in this class will be able to relax and forget about their poor health.

Rows 1-4 are just used for first class. There, everyone can reach their destination in comfort, because everyone is accommodated in a separate compartment with a door, thanks to which they can be completely private. Travelers also have comfortable chairs that can fold out 180 degrees, thus transforming into a bed. In addition, the first class cabin has free Internet access, sockets for recharging mobile gadgets, a minibar and, of course, individual lighting, which allows you to read books, magazines, and newspapers.

Those who have ordered food in advance have the opportunity to have a hearty lunch or dinner with gourmet dishes, as well as taste cold or warm drinks. Among other things, there is a shower cabin where you can freshen up. First class feels like a real five-star all-inclusive hotel. In such comfort, the flight passes unnoticed. Moreover, there are places where it is especially convenient to sit. You need to know about this if you want to get to the right place as comfortably as possible. So, the most convenient places are those further away from the kitchen and toilet, since they are always quiet, calm and cozy: this is where you can read books, listen to music or communicate via email.

Travelers who choose business class are seated in rows 6-26. These places are also particularly comfortable. If you want to fly easily and discreetly, then business class is a very suitable option. The only thing, It is not advisable to occupy rows 7, 20, 21 and 23, since then you will have to sit near the toilets, bar and kitchen. There are always a lot of people near these premises, and the activity does not decrease even at night, which is why it is unlikely that you will be able to fully relax. The remaining places are more comfortable and have all the necessary amenities. Passengers can charge their gadgets, watch movies, play video games, chat on social networks and much more thanks to Internet access.

Economy class is an option for those who want to save money on their flight. For such passengers there are as many as 399 seats in rows 43-88. Of course, it’s difficult to call them comfortable. However, all of these seats have outlets for charging electronic devices, a separate screen and a video and audio entertainment system. However, those who want to get to their desired destination in silence will have to get used to some noise, passenger activity and conversations. But for a special fee, you can connect to the Internet, turn on loud music, put on headphones and “go crazy” until your arrival. The rows are spaced 80 cm apart.

Interior layout

Airbus A380-800 cabin layout: the best seats in economy class

If we talk about the most comfortable seats here, these are the seats in rows 45, 54 and 82. The 45th row features extra legroom for a more comfortable commute. This advantage is especially noticeable if the flight is long. The 54th row also allows you to stretch your legs freely, lean back, and there is also a kitchen and no restroom, so unpleasant odors are not as noticeable as on the 67th row. Row 82 is reminiscent of row 45 in that it offers the opportunity to stretch your legs and visit the galley.

As for other seats, the 43rd row is considered one of the most comfortable, but due to the fact that the seats there do not recline and the armrests are blocked, it is not included in the list of the most comfortable. Also, you can constantly hear the flight attendants talking and walking there, because there is a room for on-board conductors nearby.

Row 50 is located near the emergency exit block. If you are afraid of flying, then the seats in this row are just for you. In the event of a disaster, you will have the opportunity to be the first to leave the emergency aircraft. However, the seats there are not very comfortable, since they do not recline. Passengers in row 51 are also limited in this opportunity. That is why the 50th and 51st rows can safely be called the most uncomfortable, since a sitting position for 4-5 hours causes great discomfort. The seats in row 55 are also uncomfortable due to the lack of legroom.

Some disadvantages are also present in rows such as 78, 79, 65 and 66. They are located near the toilets, and the seats are not equipped with reclining backs.

Thus, getting to such places is extremely inconvenient, especially since unpleasant odors and constant queues in the toilet make it difficult to rest. Seats in row 67 are suitable for those traveling as a couple. The fact is that there are only two chairs in a row, and there is also the opportunity to recline your legs and straighten your knees. However, there is also a minus - the proximity of restrooms, which prevents you from getting a good night's sleep.

One of the not entirely comfortable seats is in the 87th row, because there are also restrooms nearby. The seats in the 88th row are restless due to non-reclining backrests, stairs and toilets, which do not allow for a full rest. That is why you should not purchase tickets for these places. But they are cheaper, so they are chosen by fans of budget transportation.

Parameters of seats in the cabin

If we go deeper into the numbers, there are 12 seats in first class, 66 in business class, and 399 seats in economy class. The seat spacing in first class is 83 inches, in business class it is 74.5 inches, and in economy class it is 32 inches. Other data:

First grade. The monitor has HD extension.
Business Class. Monitor 15.6 inches.
Economy class. 11 inch monitor.

So, we examined in detail the layout of the A380 aircraft cabin. Obviously, this is a very spacious and comfortable aircraft on which you can quickly and comfortably fly to your destination. Now let’s figure out what people who have already flown on this plane think about the conditions in the Airbus cabin.

Airbus A380-800 interior

Advantages and disadvantages of the A380-800

As we have already found out, this aircraft is very spacious and large-scale. It’s not surprising, because this is the largest aircraft in the world. It was specially created so that it could carry a large number of passengers. We can safely say that the Airbus A380 has brought back the romance and excitement of flying to seasoned travelers. Anyone who has flown on this air transport will confirm that it has its own characteristics and flies to the most favorite places of tourists, namely London, Los Angeles, Paris, New York, Moscow, Dubai, Tokyo, Beijing, etc. It is thanks to this geography that passengers give preference to this aircraft, regularly flying on it. During the holiday season, flights on this Airbus are especially frequent.

Speaking about the advantages of the A380, it is necessary to note its spaciousness and spaciousness. It also takes off easily and lands just as easily. When flying over mountains or the sea, the vibrations are practically unnoticeable. Moreover, the salons are equipped with wide and comfortable seats. This is especially noticeable in those places where there are armrests, a reclining backrest and legroom. In addition, passengers note that the cabins are always very clean and comfortable. All maneuvers in the air are easy and pleasant.

Also, many travelers note that the lunches and breakfasts on board are very tasty, and the flight attendants are always friendly and polite. It must be said that not every aircraft has such good conditions for passengers. Many passengers call the A380 an aircraft whose conditions are comparable to the best brands of cars.

To summarize, it must be said that the Airbus A380-800 is a powerful flying machine in which everything is thought out to the smallest detail so that passengers can fly in comfort. Those who want to fly in comfort choose business class. There you can not only sleep, but also surf the Internet, reading e-books, listening to music and watching videos. It is very important to choose seats in time so that you can relax on the plane.

You can purchase air tickets both at the ticket office and through the official website of the airline that serves the flight. After reviewing the above information, you can decide in advance which place is better and make a purchase. In general, we have become familiar with the technical characteristics of the A380, and photos of the A380 aircraft will allow us to visually evaluate the capabilities of this aircraft. Today, many people prefer to fly on it, since compared to other airliners it is one of the most convenient and comfortable. That is why, if you want to get to your desired resort destination in comfort, then choose the A380, because it was specially created for large passenger transportation.

In contact with

is an airline owned by the United Arab Emirates. It has 38 of the largest passenger airliners in the world. The cabins of all aircraft are divided into 2 types, between which there are minor differences.

Most aircraft have a design similar to the Airbus A380. It accommodates 14 first class passengers in rows 1 to 4, 76 business class passengers in rows 6 to 26, and 399 economy class passengers in rows 43 to 88.

The difference between the other layout is in the number of economy class seats (there are 7 more) and in the numbering of the rows. Therefore, before purchasing, be sure to check with an airline employee about the location of a particular seat. In order to find out exactly what layout will be on your flight, you can.

The A380 has 2 decks. The upper deck accommodates first and business class passengers, while the lower deck is at the disposal of economy class travelers.

Let's look at the interior layout of the Emirates Airbus A380-800 and find out where the good/bad seats are.

First grade

Rows 1-4 intended for first class. These places are extremely comfortable. Each passenger is accommodated in an individual compartment with a door, equipped with a seat that can be folded up to 180 degrees, a large screen, sockets, Internet, individual lighting and a minibar.

VIP passengers are provided with an exquisite menu, showers and service at the level of a five-star hotel.

But some places are less convenient than others. Passengers in the first and fourth rows are located close to the toilet and kitchen, which causes some discomfort. Passengers warn that during a night flight, the lights constantly burning in the technical rooms and the sounds that come from them interfere with a relaxing rest.

Business Class

Business class passengers occupy Rows 6-26. All seats are distinguished by significant comfort. The chairs easily turn into comfortable beds for relaxing.

However, it is still better not to purchase tickets for rows 7, 20, 21 and 23, as sitting on them will not be very comfortable due to the proximity of the bar, toilets or kitchen. Passengers are constantly moving towards the technical premises, disturbing the peace.

If you want to relax during the flight, you should not choose seats marked in yellow.

Economy class

We move on to the lower deck, where the passengers who bought economy class tickets are located. There are 399 seats allocated for them in rows 43-88.

Each chair has its own monitor, charging socket, and individual USB port. There is also an audio and video entertainment system. After making an additional payment, you can connect to the Internet.

The rows are spaced 80 centimeters apart. This row spacing is standard for economy class.

IN 43 row thanks to the wall there is more legroom than usual. In addition, no one will recline the backs of their seats for the passengers in this row. But despite some advantages, there are also significant disadvantages. As in all front rows, the armrests are locked.

Nearby there is a staircase that leads to the upper deck with a technical room located below it, intended for on-board conductors. In this room the lights are never turned off and you can constantly hear the flight attendants and stewards walking around.

In addition, passengers go to the nearby toilet both day and night. In addition to everything, the sound that is heard when opening and closing the magnetic clasp, which blocks movement to the upper deck, does not allow you to sleep peacefully. All of the above disadvantages create significant inconvenience.

Bottom line, very fussy places.

IN 45 row There are additional benefits in the form of increased legroom.

Row 50 (A, B, C and H, J, K) located just before the first block of emergency exits. The seat backs here can be fixed or slightly limited in reclining.

Passengers 51 rows they will also not be able to recline the seat backs all the way, since they rest against the wall of the galley. Agree, a long flight in a sitting position can cause a lot of discomfort.

Passengers who purchased tickets for places 54A and 55A, will receive slightly less legroom due to the audio and video entertainment server located under the seat in front.

Seats in row 54 (D, E, F, G) are also among the most comfortable. Here you can freely stretch your legs, there is a normal view ahead and no one will throw the back of the chair back on you. Plus, the kitchen is located in front, and not the restrooms, as in row 67, which is still a little better.

Although foreign smells and sounds will accompany you during the entire flight.

There are also some shortcomings in places located in Rows 65, 66, 78 and 79. These include close proximity to toilets, causing discomfort and the inability to fully recline the seat.

Seats in rows 67 and 80, equipped with additional free space for legs and knees. It is recommended to purchase these seats for those traveling as a couple, as there are only 2 chairs in a row. But the close location of the restrooms disrupts rest, as passengers constantly go to them and sometimes stand in queues.

They are particularly comfortable seats 68 and 81 rows (A and K) thanks to the missing chair.

IN 82 row There is additional legroom, but the galley is located immediately opposite.

Seats row 87 (C, H) not entirely comfortable. The proximity of the toilet creates some discomfort during the flight: passengers constantly walk past, brushing with elbows or stepping on feet.

Last places 88 rows, are the most restless and inconvenient. There is no way to relax comfortably, since the backs of the seats do not recline. In addition, there are toilets and stairs nearby, which significantly adds to the inconvenience. Therefore, it is highly undesirable to purchase tickets for this series.

When you see the Airbus A380-800 for the first time, it’s hard to believe that such a giant can take off.

The UAE airline, Emirates, has 38 of the largest passenger aircraft in the world. They are divided into two interior layouts, which are, in principle, very similar.

We will analyze the layout of the A380 cabin, which is more common.

It includes 14 enclosed First Class cabins (Rows 1-4), 76 Business Class seats (Rows 6-26) and 399 standard Economy Class seats (Rows 43-88).

The other layout differs in that it has 7 more economy class seats and slightly different row numbering. You can find out exactly what layout will be on your flight. If it differs from the one presented here, contact our operator, he will tell you where it will be more convenient for you to sit

Well, let's take a look.

The Airbus A380 aircraft has two full floors. The ground floor of the Emirates aircraft houses first and business classes.

WITH 1 to 4 rows- first grade. It’s hard to imagine a more comfortable flight than these seats. Each place is a small individual compartment with a door. The seat reclines 180 degrees, there is a large monitor, sockets, internet, individual lighting and a minibar.

VIP passengers are provided with an exquisite menu, showers and service at the level of a five-star hotel.

However, even here there are places that are a little worse. The first and fourth rows are closest to the restrooms and bar/kitchen.

Passengers are warned that on night flights, constant technical lighting is required. premises and extraneous sounds coming from there can interfere with a peaceful rest.

You can see photos of the first class interior below at the end of the article.

WITH 6 to 26 These are business class rows.

Here, Emirates also has everything in order - very comfortable seats: an individual chair that can be turned into a bed. But even here there are places where comfort is a little low.

These are the rows near which the bar, toilets or kitchen are located.

There is a constant stream of people coming to the bar day and night. The same goes for toilets.

If you want to relax and sleep peacefully, choose places other than those marked in yellow.

You can see some photos of the bar and business class lounge below.

Now let's move to the lower deck, which is occupied by the only economy class.

As we already wrote, there are 399 places in total.

Each chair is equipped with its own screen and an audio/video entertainment system.

There are sockets for charging, as well as individual USB ports and an Internet connection.

Internet on airplanes is paid.

The distance between the rows is slightly more than 80 cm. Standard for economy class.

43 row— increased distance for knees due to the placement of the wall.

Also, no one will lean back their chair on you.

However, there are disadvantages, which may be even more significant for some than the advantages.

The armrests are locked, as usual for the first row.

Nearby there is a staircase to the second deck, under which there is a technical room for flight attendants.

There are lights on throughout the entire flight and flight attendants and stewards walk around.

Also, the proximity of toilets, which passengers go to around the clock.

Another sound that can be disturbing during an overnight flight is the opening and closing of the magnetic clasp that blocks access to the upper deck.

In general, very hectic places.

45 row— increased free space for legs and knees.

54A and 55A— under the seat in front there is an audio/video entertainment server. Slightly less legroom.

Rows 65, 66, 78, 79— the seats in these rows have limited backrest recline. Also, proximity to toilets is always restless.

Rows 67 and 80- additional free space for knees and legs.

Also, note that there are 2 chairs in a row. This is very convenient for traveling as a couple.

However, there are toilets, which means walking, queues, bustle.

68, 81, A and K- due to the missing chair, the seats are very comfortable.

82 row— increased free space for knees and legs.

87 row C and H— they will pass you by on their way to the toilets. They may hit you with an elbow or step on your foot.

88 row- the last row.

The backrests are blocked, toilets and stairs are close.

The most hectic and uncomfortable places.
