Emirates A380 seating plan: how to get the best seats with this flight map & the ones to avoid

IT’S important to be happy with the seat you’re allocated with when flying abroad.

Emirates are known for their large planes which means there are a variety of seats to choose from. Here’s your guide to one of Emirates’ biggest aircrafts, the A380.

Which are the best seats for getting off the plane first?

After sitting on a plane for hours, it’s likely that you want to depart quickly once you have landed.

The secret to getting off the plane first on the Emirates A380 is making sure you are sat near a door.

Your chances of leaving first also increase if you are sat at the the front or the very back of the aircraft.

First and business class passengers often have priority over those travelling in economy.

If you are sat on the lower deck of the plane, which consists of economy and premium economy, then there are some rows which may result in you having a head start.

If you want to get off first, you can make sure you book rows 33, 34, 52, 53, 87 or 88.

What are the best seats for legroom?

If you’re on the taller side or just want to be able to stretch your legs out, then it could be worth upgrading to have an extra legroom seat.

You can make sure you have extra room by choosing a premium economy seat which are located between rows 33 to 40 on the A380.

Or you could really splash the cash and get your own booth in first and business class.

Which plane seats are best for getting your food first?

When it comes to plane food, some people love it and some people hate it.

You may want to make sure you’re fed first and there’s a way you can make sure this happens – by booking a seat near the galley.

Due to the A380 being a large aircraft, there is more than one galley on the plane.

If you are booking an economy seat then being at the front would mean you are likely to get your meal first.

There is also another galley situated between rows 78 and 81.

Which are the best seats for taking photos?

Window seats can be some of the most sought after and are great for take a snap while you’re in the air.

Rows 53 to 68 are great for taking photos are you can see the plane wings.

However, if you want a photo with no obstruction then you can choose a seat at the front of the plane instead.

Where should you sit if you want to sleep?

Once you’ve settled into your journey, you might want to get some shut eye before arriving at your destination.

If you are sitting at a window seat it means that you won’t have anyone disturbing you to get past.

Avoid sitting near the toilets or you could have people queuing next to you and you may be kept up by the sound of flushing toilets.

In premium economy, the toilets are at the front of the plane so you should be fine where ever you choose to sit in this cabin.

However, in economy, try not to sit on row 66 as you will be right next to the loos.

There’s also some more at the back of the plane so perhaps avoid the last row.

However, it business and first class, toilets won’t be such an issue.

This is due to the lavatories being situated slightly away from where you would be sitting.

You also have access to a shower if you are travelling in first class.
