In general, we always prefer to sit toward the front of the plane as much as possible, since the front of the plane usually gets served during meals first, gets off the plane (and therefore immigrations) sooner, and suffers less during turbulence.

Emirates economy class cabin is configured in a 3-4-3 configuration, so the center section of four seats might be a good choice. Beware that some of the bulkhead rows are bassinet positions, and passengers seated there might be relocated at the last minute in order to accommodate passengers traveling with infants. The only pairs of seats are the exit rows at rows 67 and 80, and there are no adjacent pairs of seats. We would probably choose 45 DEFG for a party of four traveling together.

Currently, only some of Emirates’ B777-300ER, and their B777-300 (new) and B777-200LR have the full-flat seats in business class.
