    Relax. It will be populated a lot sooner than that. And besides, I have a "friend" on the inside

    Only problem is my parents used EK F as their preferred air travel-do I want to risk it?

    Good so far. Need to mention that J flights trans-tasman, no longer get access to limousines.

    Hey. EightBlack. all good stuff. but couldn't you just have posted links to this material.

    And isn't it just blatant advertising for EK.

    Clifford, I take your point. A lot of the content above could be found online. But a lot of it couldn't. Try and Google the EK Operating plan for 2011/2012 and see what you come up with?

    And I believe we have the most up to date seating type by specific airframe (down to the actual reg number). So if you really did want to know what type of J seats your specific flight was operating, you could tell.

    There is also no where on the web which talks about how EK process upgrades, or makes mention of EK's IO program. Nor is their a consolidated review of all the lounges, made by ac actual heavy premium traveller.

    Is it advertising for EK? This is the EK thread is it not? I'm not going to apologise for pushing EK content here.

    And hopefully over time, as more people contribute, the content will become more and more valuable.

    Thank you eightblack

    • Yes did think of it as a form of advertising but found it extremely useful;
    • Think maybe I would like to see this kind of info on all major air lines
    • only problem is keeping it updated but could state the usual "subject to change"

    IMHO this is great information and no more advertising than The ULTIMATE Qantas Guide. (The ULTIMATE Qantas Guide)

    Is it

    Excellent work eightblack.
    cheers,

    Re: Everything You Need To Know About Skywards

    Maybe someone can just copy all the contents from FT and have Ultimate Guide for every major airline at Asia Pacific?!

    Or if they can just look at FT instead?

    Anyway thank you for your work eightblack

    My altar ego from another board has met eightblack and it would be fair to say, if nothing else, he is quite passionate about EK. I guess that passion comes across as advertising sometimes...
