Emirates A380 seat choice

[FlyingConsultant]

my wife will be flying in the A380 JFK-Dubai in economy. What's a good seat row? Her priority is not to have a seat in front of her and as much room as possible. Form the seat charts, it's unclear what's in front of row 45 for instance - is that a bulkhead?

Ideas, pictures, welcome

Thanks

Hi,
I found the seatmap and discussion here....Showers in the sky - Business Traveller (http://www.businesstraveller.com/news/showers-in-the-sky)
helped.

Slightly off topic, but as you are talking about seats on the aircraft then it is probably a good idea to pick a good one because while you are at DXB you will have a very long time to stand around!
That place is so packed now that it is impossible to sit down anywhere - the place looks more like a doss house than an international airport. Every inch of floor there are hundreds of people sleeping, it really does resemble a shelter and not a very good one at that.
No matter how great Emirates are, what is the point of flying with them if your journey is ruined by that airport - the place is just too stressy and manic.
It has surpassed Heathrow as it is now widely referred to as far worse!!!:ugh:

As always in these instances, Seatguru is the place to go!

Now, as Emirates have only just started flying the A380, there isn't much information on there yet, however people have started to add data. If in doubt - go for an exit row!

Although each airline has their different requirements for seating, it might be worth looking at what people have written for the Singapore Airlines A380 too: SeatGuru Seat Map Singapore Airlines Airbus A380-800 (http://www.seatguru.com/airlines/Singapore_Air/Singapore_Air_Airbus_A380.php)
