Guys, my options are limited of course (economy) but struggling to decide whether Seats 86H and 86J are any good ? Currently sitting in 73 but dont like the idea.

What do you reckon ? I know it doesnt make much of a difference, but...

Also, we have a 3 hour stop over in Dubai, is it worth quickly jumping in a cab and doing a brief tour through the city ?

Haven't you heard what happens to people who sit in row 86?

no, you need at least more hours to do that (and you have to go through immigration in and out of the airport).

Um, OK.

The worst seats on the plane

You might want to avoid rows 44-45, 64-66 and 86-88 because they're close to lavatories, or seats at the back of any section because they're close to either loos or the galley kitchens. But overall, it's a consistent experience no matter where you are on the plane.

See!! I was right about never ever sitting in row 86.

The crew chop you up and use you for midnight snacks.

Rows 68 or 81. try and get the window seat. They don't count as exit row seats, but there is actually no seat in front so you get extra legroom and its easier to get in and out. Qantas have a similar configuration but with them there is only one row like it. Very sought after

Travelled on a Singapore A380 recently.
I was shocked just how hot the tv screen became during use. I am sure that a child would burn their fingers if they grabbed the rear of the tv screen.

Thanks everyone.

Does one of you know whether there is WI FI on the Emirates A380 ?
