Dubai->Melbourne Business: QF10 or QF8408(Emirates) help

[mkng]

Dear all
Can I get some opinions/advice please?
Im booking a Business Class flight in May with Qantas.
On my return leg from europe via Dubai to Melbourne: I have a choice between A380 QF10 or Codeshare Emirates 777-300ER QF8408.
Status Credits are the same.

I never traveled on this Emirates plane before, and very use to the A380.
I thought trying Emirates 777 would be interesting but its not the Emirates A380, and I understand the seat bed is not lie flat.
The Qantas A380 has advantages of ability to upgrade to first and ?lower cabin pressure / ?quieter.

Am I missing out not trying the Emirates plane?

Many thanks
M

If you're happy with the QF A380 I would stick with that, but that's my personal preference.

The Emirates 777 has a clearly inferior business class product to the Qantas A380. The Emirates aircraft will have a 2-3-2 configuration with angle-flat seats. Qantas is 2-2-2 with lie-flat seats. I'd stick with QF10.

(If the Emirates flight was on an A380 that would change things somewhat.)

EK soft product >> QF soft product.

That's enough for me given I can sleep comfortably on both QF Skybeds and EK 777 business seats.

Qantas all the way. The EK F 777 is almost the same as EK 380 (but no shower) and I prefer it to Q F so rather nice but EK J in 777 is not as good as either metal in 380. It's all we get in Adelaide though.

+1 For Qantas. Done both in J a few times recently, and QF380 is far superior than Emirates 777 J. I'd fly EK on the A380 anytime though over QF for any class of travel.
