Emirates review by #38621

This seat has extra legroom bc there is no seat in front of it. It is one row behind two bulkhead seats. That said, because it has no seat in front of it, you will have no storage —although the flight attendants allowed me to keep my bag at my feet once we were in the air and stow it before landing. The attendants said the airline does not allow footrests, so I couldn’t use the inflatable one I’d brought which I think would have made a difference.

The WORST thing about this seat is that the entertainment console/screen is connected to the arm rest which does not move. (Should you be so lucky as to have no one sit next to you, you will be unable to stretch out into the empty seat.) It is a surprisingly uncomfortable seat for a 12+ hour flight on which I expected to sleep, but I imagine all the seats in regular economy aren’t great on such a long flight, either.

A lot of people were gathering in the bulkhead to wait in line for the very close bathroom or to just talk which is distracting. (Fortunately, the airline didn’t allow gathering on the flight back.)

There was no electrical outlet, just the USB-A charging port. The WiFi didn’t work on either of my flights so keep that in mind if you need to be checking in with work.

The best part about this airline is that the food is really good. However, I will not fly economy on this airline again and i hope that i will have the opportunity to try a seat in a different class.
