Emirates operates three versions of Boeing 777-300.

Emirates' new 777-300ER is the best first-class product I've ever flown. The Pros: Incredible design, unmatched privacy, tech features galore, fantastic catering, impressive lounge in Dubai. The Cons: No award availability, but that could always change. The Emirates Boeing 777 Emirates operates the world’s largest fleet of Boeing 777 aircraft. We fly these modern aircraft to nearly 100 cities on six continents, carrying millions of passengers across the globe each year. Emirates now only intends to start taking delivery of the brand new Boeing 777X as of 2023. For context, this is the latest generation Boeing 777 aircraft, featuring higher capacity, more range, and all around better economics. The Boeing 777's unique combination of superior range, outstanding fuel efficiency and passenger-preferred comfort has created long-range success for carriers around the world. And the 777-300ER now gives operators a perfect opportunity to extend that success. An Emirates Boeing 777 with 300 people on board crash landed at Dubai International Airport Wednesday, skidding along a runway and erupting into an intense fire — but the airline said all.

First version of Boeing 777-300 operated by Emirates offers 354 seats in three classes: first, business and economy.

First class consists of 2 rows of closed suites per 4 in each.

Behind the exit row the other 4 rows of business class seats are located. Other passengers tend to gather in the area of the seats of the 8th row while waiting to use lavatories and causing discomfort to passengers of these seats. The seats 8DEF have bassinets.

The only disadvantage of the seats of the 11th row is close location of more crowded economy class.

Economy class may accommodate 304 passengers in three classes. First section has 5 rows of seats that have 3-4-3 configuration. As the tray tables of the seats of the 17th row are located in the armrests the width of these seats is reduced. Also these sets have no floor storage during take-off and landing. Passengers with babies are often seated here as these seats have bassinet locations.

The main disadvantages of the seats of the 21st row is limited recline and close location of the lavatories.

The second section of economy class seats contains 14 rows of seats. Passengers of the seats 23DEFG will feel comfortable thanks to extra legroom. These seats are first reserved for passengers with infants. Among disadvantages of these seats: proximity of the lavatories, lack of floor storage during take-off and landing and reduced width as the armrests of these sears are immovable.

The best seats in this section are the seats 24ABC and 24HJK. These seats offer extra space for passengers’ legs. However, as the tray tables are built-in the armrests these seats are narrower than standard. Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

The third section of economy class seats has 14 rows of seats. Passengers of the seats 37ABC and 37HJK will take advantage of extra legroom. But close location of the lavatories, reduced width and lack of floor storage during take-off and landing may cause discomfort.

For passengers with babies the seats 38DEFG offer bassinet locations. These seats have extra legroom but are narrower than standard and have no floor storage during take-off and landing.

As the tray tables are in the armrests the width of the seats 46AB and 46JK is reduced a little.

Limited recline and close location of the galleys and lavatories make the seats 49AB, 49DEFG and 55JK bas seats.

Also these seats offer bassinet locations for passengers with babies.

The seats of the 36th row are less reclining than standard. Proximity of the galleys and lavatories is another disadvantage.

Behind another exit row the third section of economy class seats is located. Passengers of the seats 37ABC and 37HJK will take advantage of extra space for their legs. The noise from the galleys may be bothersome. The tray tables are built-in the armrests making them immovable and that is why these seats are narrower than standard. Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats.

Passengers traveling with babies are often seated on the seats 38DEFG. Also these seats have limited space for passengers legs, have no floor storage during take-off and landing and have reduced width as the tray tables are in the armrests.

As there are no seats behind other passengers and crew members passing by tend to bump into the seats 45C and 45H.

For passengers traveling with a partner will be ideal AB and JK seats of the rows 46-49. The floor anchors from the seats located in front may interfere legroom of the seats 46AB and 46JK.

The seats of the 50th row are considered bad seats as they are less reclining than standard and are located close to the galleys and lavatories.

Two class version of Boeing 777-300 is the most common in Emirates’ fleet.

The seats 35ABC and 35HJK are less reclining than standard, the noise from lavatories may also represent a problem.

The third section of economy class seats is located behind another exit row. Due to the exit row located in front passengers of the seats of the 37th row will have extra legroom. Other passengers tend to congregate in the area of these seats while waiting to use lavatories. These seats are narrower than standard as the armrests of these seats are immovable. Lack of floor storage during take-off and landing is another disadvantage of these seats. Passengers traveling with babies are often seated on the seats 37DEFG as they offer bassinets.

For passengers traveling with a partner will be ideal the seats AB and JK of the rows 46-50. These seats offer extra under seat storage as they are higher of the ground than other standard seats. But this may cause discomfort to passengers whose legs cannot touch the ground, moreover during long flights. Also it is difficult to sleep on these seats as they have no wall to lean against.

Limited recline make the seats 48AB bad seats.

Proximity of the lavatories will cause discomfort to passengers of the seats 48D and 48G.

The seats 49DEFG and 50 JK are considered bad seats because they are less reclining than standard and are located close to the lavatories.

The Boeing 777-300er is the backbone of the Emirates fleet. Over the years the 'Triple-7' has become more than just an airplane, it is now a brand flying the skies all over the world. It is a product that has a great reputation within the aviaton industry and is loved and enjoyed by thousands of passengers every day.

I've had the pleasure of travelling on a lot of Emirates flights throughout the years, including one of the longest direct flights in the world, the EK218 from Los Angeles to Dubai. This same route is also operated by an Emirates A380 Airbus as EK215, making it the longest non-stop Airbus Super Jumbo flight in the world.

In this article I mainly want to show you what the Boeing 777 experience is all about and why it leads the international market. Its First and Business Classes are all about luxury sure, but it's also got an amazing Economy Class that keeps you comfortable throughout some very long flights. Let's get into some more detail!

As a Frequent Flier, I usually book my trips on JustFly (cheapest fares) or CheapOair (great Business Class deals). Check it out!

This Emirates flagship carrier is the most popular aircraft in the world, with more than 1,500 of them flying around the world every day. Almost every major airline trusts and utilizes the Boeing manufacturers from Seattle, USA. It's a sturdy workhorse that can fly you halfway around the world without the need to land. Direct market competitors are the A330, A340 and the new Airbus 350 that is expected to join the industry later this year.

The Boeing 777 is one of the safest aircrafts in the world. Until the Asiana Airlines crash in San Francisco in mid 2013, there had been no fatalities associated with the Boeing 777. Asiana's two fatalities were the first recorded in its 18 years of operation, and the crash was due to a pilot error and not aircraft issues. The recent Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 which has been missing ever since the 8th of March 2014 was also a Boeing 777, and its destiny is still unfortunately unknown to this day.

Good to Know: Triple 777 and Dubai

Best Seat on the 777: There are shared opinions but check what Seat Guru has to say by clicking here.

Best Hotel to stay in Dubai: The Marriott Marquis (tallest in the world) or the Rotana Rose (second tallest). Both quite affordable.

What to do in Dubai: I published this Dubai Guide based on a two days layover. I have lived in Dubai myself and I know the coolest spots.

ENTERTAINMENT

It's no secret that I love ICE, and no I'm not talking about ice cream but the Emirates entertainment system which is simply known as ICE (Information, Communication & Entertainment). ICE was voted as the best aviation entertainment system in the world in 2013 and 2014 by Skytrax.

Emirates Boeing 777 300er

You can pick between hundreds of options for movies, music, TV series and games channels. You'll never get bored, and that's a fact! The new screens come in a 16:9 format, are easy to handle and are as responsive as an Apple iPad. The days of your fingers being in pain after a flight because the display simply didn't respond to your wishes are over!

Emirates Boeing 777 300er Seating Chart

Emirates is quite generous when it comes to your luggage - 30kg for each Economy traveller. That's not typical as usually other airlines only offer 20kg or less. You better take advantage of it!

FOOD & CABIN CREW

Let's start with the good news - Emirates will not let you starve! The food is super yummy and the portions very satisfying. You are going to enjoy two meals if you fly beyond six hours, mostly lunch or breakfast, depending on what time your flight departs. The cabin crew will serve tea and coffee and are usually quite present during the entire flight offering drinks and cakes etc...

Something that I dislike about Emirates is their cabin crew. Most of the time they can't identify themselves with the airline and its customs and they seem tired most of the time. They seem overworked and are even surveilled by the airline management. I know an Emirates crew member who posted on his personal social media account that he didn't like working on a certain aircraft, said nothing about the Emirates brand, and was immediately fired from his position. In the air, you will get a 'NO' as an answer quite often, mostly from their Asian staff who really lack a basic knowledge of English.

I have also experienced a lot of Eastern European crew in the Emirates team, most who have a massive attitude problem and only start working for Emirates to hook up with wealthy Arabs who are starving for some good times. Overall I think Emirates HR is missing a real sustainable strategic effort when it comes to their cabin crew.

THE ECONOMY CLASS CABIN

A common procedure among Russian cabin crew - facelifts, has also finally arrived within the cabins of the Emirates Boeing 777-300er. Most of their cabins are being refurbished at the moment, including brand new seats and an amazing 16:9 screen in front of you. These screens are super responsive and are easy to handle, and this tool will actually improve the quality of your flight a lot.

Yes, finally a little bit of their 'Hello tomorrow!' campaign is reaching the cabins. The 4:3 screens from 1972 are no longer present. Some Triple 7's may still have the old design but you can be sure that Emirates is trying hard to refurbish them all.

FLAT BED, MINI BAR AND AMENITIES

Emirates has a pretty decent Business Class and perhaps offers the best corporate product in the industry. Apart from the flat bed experience, you will also have your own personal mini-bar, personal storage space and a privacy divider that can turn your seat into a little self-contained pod. Every businessman/woman relies on their laptop and you won't have to worry about your device running out of battery during a flight, due to the in-built seat power supply. You may even get to enjoy the free WiFi on selected Boeing 777 flights.

EMIRATES LOUNGE

Business and First Class travellers are invited to spend some time at Emirates' luxury lounges. You can dine on great food, enjoy the Business Center to catch up with some work or just have a cold beer. The Emirates lounge in Dubai even offers a Spa to its First Class travellers. A limousine service is also included and can be arranged online here, with a so-called 'luxury' Volvo (there is nothing luxury about a Volvo, don't know where they get that rubbish from).

EMIRATES BUSINESS CLASS DINING

Emirates offers you a wide range of healthy and award-winning food. In Emirates Business Class you will be offered a three course meal. There are no paper napkins or plastic cups either, there are linen napkins and silver cutlery of course. The airline from Dubai offers you everything you need to relax to the fullest. Complimentary champagne, a huge variety of beers, cocktails, wines, liqueurs and long drinks. All these amazing drinks are of course not availabe on flights to Saudi Arabia.

If you ever get to fly on an Emirates A380 you should try the SkyBar. It is a real bar open for First and Business Class travellers, and is a great place to socialise. Unfortunately this bar isn't available on the Boeing 777, probably due to the lack of room.

EMIRATES FIRST CLASS EXPERIENCE

Well, if you have the money to book a First Class flight you probably won't be reading my review or won't really care if I say that the pillows weren't fluffy enough. Let me give you guys a little taste anyways. The refurbished Boeing 777-300er have adapted the same First Class cabins you can find on an Airbus A380. You are going to spend your flight in your private suite with flat bed, flat screen and flat cabin crew.

Unfortunately you won't get to enjoy the SkyBar or SkyShower on a 777. But don't worry, you will still be pampered like a king. Emirates has a dedicated First Class lounge and priority check-in. The First Class limousine service is on a luxury Mercedes - definitely better than a Volvo. Yes, every wish will be granted!

40kg for every First Class traveller, but believe me they are not going to reject you if you want to check-in another bag or take an additional carry-on bag...

Emirates 777 Bottomline:

Emirates Boeing 777 has one of the best Economy Classes in the world, that's a fact. Its Business and First Class are also pretty outstanding. It's not a secret that Emirates orders pretty decent airplanes and follows a true luxury strategy.

It's very close to the perfect airplane and if you have the chance to fly on an Emirates Triple 7 then I can tell you that you are going to have a very pleasant flight.

For the America to Dubai flights I recommend that you request a window seat right in the back so you can enjoy the view while flying over Canada and especially Greenland.

Overall the Boeing 777 even beats the Airbus A380 in my opinion. The entertainment system is outstanding, the food delicious and well, the cabin crew is usually below average but that's ok.
