Hi all, couldn't find a thread on this but please move if there is one that I missed.

Mrs_G and I are flying to Milan with Emirates on the A380 in economy in October and the seat config is quite different to last time I took a 380. And with the demise of seatguru I can't get much idea.

Looking at the Emirates seat plans, there are two cabins, a forward cabin where all the seats are marked as 'preferred' but accessible to my QF gold status, and a rear cabin. Both are 3/4/3 so I was thinking of either window and middle or a pair in the centre block of 4. Will probably depend on Mrs G's desire to clamber over on a 15hr flight.

Can anyone give any feedback on the front or rear cabin choice? Both cabins are pretty clear at the moment, I can't imagine why....

Select the front cabin for now given that it's complimentary and move to the rear if there are still empty rows on the day?
