The main difference in terms of economy seat specifications between Emirates' 777 aircraft and the A380 is the extra 1 inch of seat width (18 inches versus 17 on the 777). However, the legroom (a standard 32 inches) and seat recline (3-4 inches) are identical.
The bottom line. Overall, the A380 seems to come out far ahead in first class as there may also be wider availability of tickets. It also comes ahead in business class unless passengers are traveling in pairs and do not need access to the bar.
So why has Airbus decided to kill it? The main reason the company will halt production of A380 after 12 years, from 2021, is the low number of planes sold. “In the end, you have to face facts, and we could see that we were building A380s faster than people were ordering them,” Lange says.
The arrival of the A380 in 2007 was poorly timed. The price of jet fuel had begun to creep up, and by 2007 was floating at around $4 a gallon. This made airlines shy away from the expensive to operate four engine jets of the 80s and 90s, and to look instead to fuel efficiency as a major deciding factor.
One of the main benefits of flying Emirates premium economy is the extra space versus Emirates standard economy seats. Emirates premium economy seats offer 40 inches of legroom pitch and a seat that's 19.5 inches wide. For comparison, economy seats provide 32 to 34 inches of legroom pitch and are 17.5 inches wide.
If you're travelling on the A380 superjumbo you have two decks to choose from – upper or lower deck. Generally, sitting on the upper deck is preferable because of the usually smaller cabin and lower density configuration (2-4-2 vs. 3-4-3). It's also quieter sitting upstairs.
