Thanks in advance Hi sams, Glasgow I assume? 777-300 ER gets you some 2 seats at the back of the aircraft rows 46, 47 & 48 AB & JK. Personally the worst out of this selection are seats 46AB & 46JK as these are slightly off centre from the 3 seats in front of these (footrest and monitor) and all of these seats will feel slightly more turbulence because of the rear location if this is an issue. Very popular these sets of two and I would advise to pay your airfare to Emirates or agent earlier than the 10 weeks before as then seat selection would become available through manage my booking on Emirates website. Seatguru website will show the plan for any other choice if you also want to avoid the wing.

We thought these seats very good as you had room to the side ( as there are 3 seats in front of you) and you avoided having to ask someone to move every time you needed to stretch your legs or visit the bathroom. We did seem to suffer a bit from turbulence but it didn't bother us. Overall we had good flight and thought Emirates were excellent.   Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 1:44 pm sams Joined: 21 Dec 2006 Posts: 1632 Location: Scotland Seats booked got the set's of two for all the legs, excited about it already _________________   Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2014 2:15 pm Casey Jones Joined: 30 May 2008 Posts: 1480 Location: Cumbria Nice one sams Thought of any room preference yet?

Can't wait to see the house reef that's the main reason we chose Vila. We were on Lily beach just across the water a few years ago, before they upgraded it and the sea life was amazing. _________________   Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2014 12:14 pm ginny Joined: 28 Jun 2006 Posts: 38 Hi just wondering how easy it was to book seats and what availabil.ity was like   Posted: Fri Feb 28, 2014 3:57 pm Casey Jones Joined: 30 May 2008 Posts: 1480 Location: Cumbria ginny wrote: Hi just wondering how easy it was to book seats and what availabil.ity was like You need an airline locator number from your travel agent. Usually given as soon as you pay for your flights (final balance) or pay for your flights with your deposit - input this into manage my booking on Emirates website and your itinerary will be available to alter for your requirements, seats, dietary requirements, assistance etc. Availability also shown regarding seat selection.
