Definitely a step down from the A380 experience. The cabin is 2-3-2 and we had two rows of window seats. The seats are also angle flat - OK for a day flight when you might want to doze but not the quality of the A380 fully flat.
The service was good and the food very tasty. I had a problem with the IFE system which took a reboot but didn’t really solve the problems frustratingly.
After a short doze we were descending into DAR ready to kick off the vacation.
Overall, first impressions of emirates was very good - staff friendly, good service and smooth connections through DXB.
Next flight is on a Cessna Caravan!
