Simple Flying recently got a chance to tour an Emirates Boeing 777-300ER. The Boeing 777-300ER has been the workhorse of the Emirates fleet for well over a decade, alongside the Airbus A380. The Emirates Boeing 777-300ER has a range of 7,888 nautical miles, and the aircraft type has flown over 298 million passengers since its introduction.

The triple seven has been prevalent with Emirates during the pandemic, and most of the airlines 150 Boeing 777-300ER’s have remained active, whilst the majority of its A380 fleet has been parked.
The particular plane I toured had a three-class configuration:
- First class: Eight suites
- Business class: 42 angle flat seats
- Economy class: 310 seats
Let us take you on a tour of the 360 seat passenger plane!

First class cabin
We will start up front, with Emirates’ most premium seats. Flying in Emirates’ first class can set you back anywhere from $2,000-$10,000, depending on the route. For this, you get the best—a suite with doors, incredible service, fine dining, and an impeccable on the ground experience.
On this particular Boeing 777-300ER, we saw an older version of the first class suite. On their Boeing 777LR’s, Emirates now offers fully enclosed suites, complete with virtual windows!
Cabin fact file:Â
- Eight suites in total on the plane.
- Seat pitch: 69 inches (fully lie flat).
- Seat width: 20.5 inches.
- Fun fact: The seat has a minibar in the armrest!
The cabin is configured in a 1-2-1 configuration, so everyone gets direct aisle access. An aerial view of the suite shows everything you get. Panoramic views out of three windows, a minibar in the armrest, a duvet, mattress and pillow, a vanity mirror, large TV, and lamp.

Emirates is known for having showers onboard its planes. The shower spa facilities for first class passengers are only on the Airbus A380. Luckily, if you are flying with Emirates, there is a chance you will be connecting in Dubai, which will increase your chances of potentially flying on an Airbus A380.
Business class cabin
Cabin fact file:Â
- 42 seats in total on the plane.
- Seat pitch: 60 inches (angle flat seat).
