First Class

Emirates A380 First Class seat 3EEmirates Airines A380 First Class is in the nose with individual cabins. These have all the bling of Dubai, and the substance is just as lacking - they are curiously narrow. Other airlines A380 cabins tend to have 3 or 4 seats across on the wide lower deck. Emirates have 4 on the more cramp A380 top deck. However you get plenty of toys: the cabin has doors, there is a (non-alcoholic) mini-bar, a small walk-up bar, and two vast lavatories with inflight showers.

Business Class

Emirates A380 Business Class seat 6GEmirates A380 Business Class is in a wacky staggered design. Each seat faces to the front, however when sliding into a flat bed, it slips into the minibar pod in front: consequently the aisle seats (B, D, G, J) have a shorter 70” (5’10”) bed, while window and middle seats (A, E, F, K) are longer with a 79” bed. If you sit in the isle, you may regret it. You can save seat and in-flight entertainment settings to a USB Stick. There is an mini-wardrobe, in-seat mini-bar and a larger walk up bar with sofas at the rear of the cabin.

Economy Class

Emirates A380 Economy Class seat 55KIf you look at the Emirates A380 seating plan you'll see why many passengers much prefer the front cabin economy seats. With most airlines this cabin is reserved for first class, because it is far away from engine noise and is very quiet, however Emirates has put economy in this cabin. However, all of the seats in this cabin are 'Preferred Seats' with a $80USD booking fee, unless you are Gold Frequent Flyer or above.
