Sorry Ansett, I understand your question is re the seat, etc, but I just cannot let this one go - if you are going all-out and doing F with Emirates, then the "bar and shower" just HAVE to be taken into account!! IMHO they are what makes Emirates F so fantastic.
Every person has their own desires and situation, but I will give you a miniature summary of mine: I have to fly a lot, mostly long haul. Zillions of hours a year. I manage to wrangle most of it in J, but when you do enough hours, even good J is just something that makes a painful thing less painful, but it is still NOT FUN. But when I tasted EK A380 F, I was destroyed from anything else.
Sure, if you stay in your seat, I think the difference between a 777 and an A380 is zero. But that shower and the bar make the trip fun and even LESS like actually flying (all IFE, service, etc is designed to distract you from what is in truth a hideous thing - travel in a tube)
there are many opinions on everything, but for me an EK A380 in F is all good - in all seats. Some people say that row 1 is "too near the showers / forward bar, and the pax traffic will be disturbing". What nonsense!! Those suites are very private and every single seat in F is great.
Is this your first EK First experience? If so, congratulations - this is an experience that so few of us manage to attain
