777 Mini suites being cut?

[Kapitanleutnant]

Heard an interesting rumor recently that according to TC, the Emirates mini suites on the 777's will be reduced from the 8 currently on board to 4 total in the future on all 777's, and evidently will be increasing the business class section..?

Anyone else heard about this?

Not specifically, but not suprised. We clearly have been carrying fewer F class pax, so it makes sense.

Seems also like a larger percentage of the new aircraft are two class.

Correct!

I think that is a re-hash of an old article, I've read it before, more than a year ago. Seems the paragraph about Mauritius, Barcelona etc added in.

If you read down, it mentions not being allowed to take the A380 to PVG, which as most of you are aware, has been happening for quite some time now :}

I am sure at some point there would be 2-class A380s, but given that F loads are pretty high on a majority of flights, I don't think it would be many. The original post was about F suites being removed from 777
