The Plane For the New EK41 Dubai to London Heathrow Flight

The new EK41 service will differ from the other flights on this sector as it won’t be an A380 flight. Instead, this new flight will be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER in a 3-class configuration. This plane type features:

8 First Class Seats in a 1-2-1 layout
42 Business Class Seats in a 2-3-2 layout
306/304/310 Economy Class Seats in a 3-4-3 layout

It must be noted that the Emirates Business class on the Boeing 777-300ER isn’t the most comfortable out there. The dense configuration means that not all seats have direct aisle access. Window seats and central seats will have to get past the neighbouring passenger to get to the corridor.

So if you have the chance and you’re flying business class, book yourself on an A380 service instead.
