The interior design of the latest generation EK aircraft only focused on solo travellers. When travelling as a couple you can not call your seat very cosy with all the plastic around you. When you travel as a couple, EK has only a few dedicated seats E & F available on the A 380.
We flew on one of the newer machines with the I-pad style seat/ICE controller, which needed brutal force to be removed from its craddle.
The meal service was extremely rushed and 2,5hrs into the flight (of 7hrs) the service was over and the lights turned low. At that time the party started in the pantry. Pre-dinner drinks were cleared half withour asking when the tray tables were prepared. Wine intended for the starter were served at the time the starter was cleared! Also a 2nd cup of coffee was not an option.
Still I like the noisy and powerful take-off of a heavily loaded 777!

I travel a lot, with many airlines and I have to say that I have mixed views on Emirates. The seat pitch is great, but the seat width is atrocious! They have squeezed in an extra seat into the middle section in Economy and bot can you feel it! I would rather fly on British Airways 77W with a 3x3x3 configuration even though they have a 31 inch pitch. Never again! When it came to dinner I had to co ordinate eating with my next door neighbour as there was just no room. Sorry Emirates, a big thumbs down which is a shame, I was looking forward to flying with you.

Excellent suite! Ultimate privacy when suite doors shut. Huge IFE screen, private mini-bar, iPad IFE operating device which can operate a separate movie/map/etc from the main IFE screen, cabin baggage storage under seat - no overhead bins, flat twin size bed when fully reclined. All in all, the best suite seat around. Service was excellent as well on this 3.5 hour flight!

Choose this seat to avoid the three seat configuration. It's at the last but one row at the rear of flight. The seat proved to be a good choice, on contrary to have marked as below average on seat guru. It's a very good choice for the fact I had extra leg room being behind and Got gap between the window and seat.

Very comfortable seat and great in flight service. Did not use IFE all that much, looks like great selection and screen quality, but the control unit seemed was huge and not directly intuitive. On the ground, Emirates still has some way to go compared to European and Asian competitors.

The seat was perfect, just with one person next to me, the leegroom is perfect because this part is curved so you wont have space problems. Maybe the bathroom is a problem, but in my flight I heard it only once.

Yes this is an exit isle seat and has as expected outstanding leg room. OK tis located next to the toilets but this is really not a bother on an overnighter. Even with other PX stretching their legs.
