We recently travelled Brisbane-Dubai in a 777 (3 hour layover) and then onto Gatwick again in a 777. The return trip was Heathrow – Dubai in a 380. We were then in a 777 from Dubai-Singapore (1 hour layover) and Singapore-Brisbane. The ‘sardine’ seating was very uncomfortable in the 777. It is an insult for people to be subjected to this sort of seating for any flight but particularly a 14 hour long haul. The seating in the 380 was heaven compared to the 777 and really enhanced our flying experience. So our big thumbs down is to the 777 seating 333-4444-333. The food was great and we enjoyed a new cultural experience just through the food. The biggest bouquet must go to the Emirates cabin crew. They were professional and confident but also warm and engaging. Every cabin crew member we spoke to maintained pleasant eye contact even in the midst of balancing food and drinks. The cabin crew made us feel like first class even though we were economy.
