EK 777 New Business Class
First look: Emirates' new business class seat - Business Traveller
Looks like a vast improvement on the current product.
Still a distant dream for First Officers with kids!

Looks like an early 2000's design. The guy pictured in the middle seat looks visibly uncomfortable. And he's just there for the picture, not for the 17 hours to AKL.
Hardly revolutionary, it's comparable to the first class revamp on the 340-300's a few years back.

Not having direct isle access is a major downfall. Just look at the J offerings from QR EY SQ CX. QR is launching a suite type business seat. Just another missed opportunity from EK unfortunately.
short flights long nights
For me now, as a full fare pax, the middle seat is the killer. I will fly SQ or Etihad, for the configure.

Full fair business class in retirement SOPS? Provident fund must have been good..........
I agree with the comments though. Nice, but hardly a 'wow'.
Still,without too much invested, hopefully that leaves enough in the kitty for a pay rise.

The 777 J Class product has been dated for years.
If you're traveling on your own by the window or in the middle seat is not a great experience, no direct aisle access means that every time you or the person next to you needs to get up, a backside is shoved into somebody's face!
At the very least they should have gone the way the configuration is on the Super or better even, gone the way most other airlines have with a far better product.
