Emirates has a massive and consistent widebody fleet. The airline only flies Airbus A380s and Boeing 777s. They're the world's largest operator of both the A380 and 777-300ER, and it's this widebody fleet that has allowed them to scale their longhaul route network unlike any other airline in the world (like offering 10x daily flights…

The only reasonable route imo to enjoy the new first class is the DXB-HND route. In which I'm sure there is either zero award space or ridiculously expensive in miles. Come on Emirates
A great example of why an airline should be “judged/rated” based on their worst/most common product!
Still don't understand the rationale behind their route choices for new F. Do you have any insight?
Emirates has 139 777-300ERs in its fleet... out of a total backlog of 146 777-300ERs - 7 have been retired.

Stansted seems particularly odd.
Perhaps some Emirates management have houses near there?
Stansted is very close to Godolphin Stables, the centre of the Maktoum's racing business. I think there's also a regular EK 777F service to STN for the horses.
Like the Emirates A380's the newer the better but I now hate transit through Dubai. The airport is tedious with little to really do if you have a longer transit. Having been to Dubai itself several year apart I see to reason to actually stay. Singapore is far better in the airport and outside and is my preferred option heading east.
Wasn't the initial rationale of operating the new F-class 777s on shorter routes like Brussels and Geneva that there were too few aircraft to make longer routes viable?
But now that they have a sizable number, wouldn't it make more sense to use them to Australia and/or US where F class and particularly the sleep mode could be better utilized?
Also, is the total weight of the new 77Ws different because of the reconfigured cabin? Those F suites must weigh a lot, especially given that they are floor-to-ceiling.
what's business class like on this ✈ ? hopefully 2-2-2 lie flat
Cause there is no 1st class award space between HND - DXB
