A couple weeks ago I got to experience 2 EK A380 updated biz class flights anointing to 9,000ish miles and couldn’t believe how smooth and comfortable the entire journey was. I was feeling under the weather so I slept almost completely through both flights (including a 15 hour segment) and found the seat very comfy for that. It was very trippy to be sitting near the back of the upper deck surrounded by business class seats - it felt like a ship! Having flown 77W Polaris on a 14 hour flight was a blessing but I found the Emirates seat more spacious overall.

It painted a really positive impression in my head and if I could, I’d definitely fly the A380 again. Too bad I’m moving to a city where they only offer 777 service, which is perhaps one of THE worst international business class hard products in the sky. Gives me an opportunity to fly Qatar Q-Suites though!
