BKK-SYD, on QF or EK in economy

[kaz]

Flying SYD-BKK on QF23 and for BKK-SYD I'm trying to choose between either the Emirates operated QF8418 or the QF24 flight. Both legs are same price.

I'll be travelling in economy so any advice on whether to choose Emirates or QF for the leg home would be appreciated. EG. Seat comfort & seat width would help to decide which way to go, but any advice would be helpful.

The Emirates metal is B 777-300 with the 3-4-3 config whereas the QF aircraft is A330-300 with 2-4-2
Emirates B773 seats are notorious for being narrow as they cramp 10 seats where other airlines normally put only 9 in a 3-3-3 cconfig

Thanks sergeyvzn for your input. I'll definitely now chose the QF flight.

I've recently flown on an EK B77W aircraft and was surprised it didn't turn out as uncomfortable as I had expected with its notoriety. But then again, it was a day flight and the load was light so I had a whole row to myself... And I enjoyed the IFE.

Keep in mind the better IFE and more generous seat pitch that QF pffer
