Starting from July 1, the first Emirates Boeing 777 will undergo its nose-to-tail cabin interior facelift with the whole process taking approximately two weeks before the aircraft goes back into service.

Plans include the refurbishment of the First-Class cabin, the installation of 38 new business class seats in an updated 1-2-1 seating configuration, in addition to 24 of the latest premium economy seats, along with 256 economy class seats.

All Business Class seats on the newly refurbished Boeing 777 focus on personalized privacy and elevated comfort, converting to a comfortable flat bed. The staggered seating arrangement ensures aisle access for every seat, with direct entry and exit for customers.

The seat is accentuated with a touch screen seat controller for in-flight entertainment and seat operation, a personal 23-inch HD screen, in addition to a personal mini-bar, a large table, and ample stowage for personal devices, charging outlets and much more.  The Boeing 777 Business Class cabin will also include a small bar for customers to quickly grab mid-flight snacks and refreshments.
