Let's take a look at the layout and seating arrangement of an Emirates aircraft with a three-class cabin configuration and highlight the best seats.

Other cabin configurations for the Boeing 777-300 ER:

First grade

12 first class seats are located: 2-2-2. The step between the two rows is 175 cm. If desired, the armchair can be folded into a horizontal bed. The angle of inclination in a seated position is 40 degrees. Each seat is surrounded by a private partition.

Each place has ample personal space. For entertainment, a personalized display is offered, with a large number of video and audio programs. The video library has a large selection of films and computer games. For a comfortable stay, a personal travel kit is provided: sleep masks, slippers, socks, down pillows and blankets.

Passengers of this class can use a satellite phone, fax, chargers with USB input, and an outlet.

A large selection of menus, drinks, vintage wines - everything is offered in an exquisite setting.

Business Class

The business lounge is divided into two parts: 14 seats from 6 to 7 rows, and 28 seats from 8 to 11. Configuration: 2-3-2.

Emirates Business Class passengers are offered wide, fully reclining seats. The distance between the seats is 122 cm.

Otherwise, everything is the same as in the first class: an individual display with a choice of various programs, films and games. Possibility to use telephone, fax, computer. Charger via USB input.

Business passengers are offered individual travel and hygiene kits (the latter only on night flights).

Economy class

The cabin of this class is divided into three parts for the convenience of passengers.

Chairs are placed: 3-4-3. The seat pitch is 79 cm. Each seat has a personal display built into the back of the seat in front. Passengers can watch movies, listen to music and play video games throughout the flight. You can also use mobile phones and chargers.

The menu assortment depends on the duration of the flight. Economy class passengers are offered alcoholic and soft drinks: beer, white and red wine, aperitifs, juices. For lunch and dinner we offer: hot dishes, snacks, salads, desserts, chocolate, tea and coffee.

Emirates sells Economy Class tickets at a variety of Flex, Special and Seiver fares. It is possible to choose seats in the salon without additional payment only at the “Flex” tariff.

First salon

60 seats from 16 to 21 rows. In the Boeing 777-300 ER, in this cabin the best seats are in the first row (16 according to the scheme). Emirates provides them primarily for passengers with babies, as the cradle mounts are installed here. These seats can only be obtained at check-in at the airport.

If you need a baby cradle on board, please indicate it when booking your ticket or call the Emirates Help Desk in Moscow. The call within Russia is free.

The chairs of the last row - 21, rest against the partition, behind which the bathrooms are located.

The small number of passengers in this cabin and the location at the front of the aircraft make it the most comfortable.

Second salon

The second salon starts with 23 rows and ends with 36. There are 178 seats in total. There are emergency exits in front of row 23 and a large space in front of the seats.

It is very comfortable to fly in such places, but they are not available to everyone. You can get them exclusively at check-in at the airport. Restrictions on these seats have been introduced for flight safety reasons. They are not provided:

unaccompanied children;
passengers with children;
disabled people;
passengers carrying animals.

There is a partition just behind the last 36th row of this salon. The backs tilt at a slight angle.

Third salon

The third salon has 118 seats. Rows 37 to 50. In front of row 37 there are emergency doors (see restrictions on passenger categories in the description of the second economic compartment). These are the best seats with a lot of legroom in front of the seats.

In rows 46, 47, 48, the configuration of seats is 2-4-2 due to the narrowing of the fuselage. For 50, there is a partition next to it, and immediately behind it is a galley.

There are two more toilets in the tail of the aircraft.

Emirates' Best Economy Class Seats

Extra legroom:

16 - completely.
23, 37 - A, B, C, H, J, K.

Worst economy class seats

The backs of these places are practically motionless. In addition, passengers in rows 21, 48 and 50 will be disturbed by people passing to the toilets.

21 - completely.
35, 50 - D, E, F, G.
36 - A, B, C, H, J, K.
48 - A, B, J, K.

If you enjoy looking out the window or taking panoramic photographs, do not go over the airplane's wings. Rows above the wings: 16 to 31.
Luggage must not be placed under the seats near emergency exits.
Porthole Seats: A, K.
Aisle Seats: C, D, G, H
Centerpieces: B, E, F, J.
Flying in a fixed-back chair for several hours will be very exhausting.
