Emirates Economy Class is laid out in a 3-4-3 configuration on both their A380 and Boeing 777-300ER and both these aircraft fly between Singapore and Dubai. I recommend picking the flight that’s operated by the A380 if it’s offered as you’ll have a slightly wider seat compared to the Boeing 777-300ER.
