Emirates leg room ?
Discussion
We have booked flights (4 persons) to Dubai in mid March and it says its a A380-800 which does not mean much to me but it sound BIG and does not let you book extra leg room on line, so my question is how do you get extra room ?, is there a way to purchase it when you check in ?, or any other way you regular travelers know of getting more room. I would expect they need to see you are able bodied for exit seats.
Any help on this would be very helpfull and many thanks in anticipation, did look at business but can't run to that.

Sorry, half asleep. Meant to say this, not Trip Adviser 
I've just come back from Dubai, and had the A 380 both ways.
I thought it was the best economy flight I've ever had.
The entertainment system is fantastic, I'll guess at the numbers, but something like 50 films, 50 tv shows, thousands of songs. You can start the system as soon as you get on, so you don't need to wait for take-off.
I thought leg-room felt maybe slightly less than Virgin premium economy, if the person in front doesn't recline their seat then it's really no problem for a 7 hour flight.

The seats with the most leg room are at the front of each "block" facing the "wall" but they normally put families with a baby there.
I`ve traveled with Emirates many times with out complaint,they are fantastic,great service.I`m quite sure where ever you sit you will not be disappointed.

Can't belive it, we have just been upgraded to business for a fee but an affordable fee in my book. 
Looking forward to this a lot.
How did you go about getting your upgrade Sarge?Looking forward to this a lot.
I'm flying Emirates to Dubai as the first leg of a flight to Vietnam on the 26th of March and would love to make this trip a bit more bearable.

Wife phoned me this morning saying she had just recieved an e-mail from Emirates offering the upgrade for all four of us for just over a grand which I felt was worth it, only ever been business once before and we have just had a good quarter at work so have gone for it.
Nice one Sarge, sounds like you had a right result.To be honest I'll be happy with economy on the 380 after the things I've read about it, but business on the 777 we have from Dubai to Vietnam would be good.

That is a very good deal,can you explain how you got that upgrade ?? We said you will not be disappointed with economy,believe me you will be in seventh heaven in those seats,they are very very good.Trouble is you will never want to fly in anything else afterwards.
A380 economy is superb, lots of room.Sarge 4x4 said:
Wife recieved an e-mail from Emirates offering the business upgrade, did not ask for it just lucky I suppose. 
You are about right I recon about the seats.........once you have had Fillet steak you won't like Beefburger (horse).
I wonder if someone from Emirates is a PH spy?? this topic has been very good for them.You are about right I recon about the seats.........once you have had Fillet steak you won't like Beefburger (horse).
