I might be going to Dubai but which aircraft is best out of the A330-200 or 777-300 Emirates own ?

“best” has still not been defined, but I recently flew a 1-stop long-haul flight on an A330-300 & a 777-300ER. I preferred the 777-300ER, but it was a newer aircraft.
The 777-300ER is a LONG bird!

I cannot comment on their A330-200s but I have travelled on both their 777-200ER and 777-300ER aircraft, which I found unbearable. The on-demand inflight entertainment was brilliant but a 747 configuration on a 777 did not work for me. The seats were ridiculously narrow, which was especially noticeable when trying to eat.
I understand the A330s to be configured with the older inflight entertainment system but in terms of comfort, it should be a million times better.

I flew on both planes with Emirates and thought the 777 was the better of the two.

Best depends on the company you are gonna take, the class you’re gonna fly in, whether you travel alone or with someone (A330 = 2-4-2 in eco, B777 = 3-3-3), etc. That matters much more than the aircraft itself.

What do you mean by “best”?
