Access into the F Lounge is based on your outbound class of travel. Therefore you will only have access to the J lounge in DXB. You can of course pay the 200 USD (I think it is about that much) to access the F lounges for up to 4 hours. Also if you're Plat or P1 with QF, you also have access to...

I assume we are talking about the EK first class lounge. The 3 FCLs at DXB are open 24 hours a day.

Many African countries are still largely cash-based. In the last 15 years, countries like Ethiopia and Uganda have seen ATMs grow in number in the major cities from one or two to several hundred. However, beyond the cities, physical currency is the norm, with services like MTN Mobile Money and...

I've had a similar situation a few times in EK F, going to CMN in particular and once when returning to MEL where entitled Emiratis made a big fuss upon boarding about wanting a window seat. Each time a rather embarrassed FA came round to the window seats and asked if the passenger was prepared...

I agree with this idea. Cabin crew often have a tough time, especially on long haul flights. And showing appreciation always makes them feel better. I often take a few bags of uniquely Oz sweets, usually Minties, and hand them out near the end of the flight. I'm probably responsible for...

Hi straitman. Sorry to be a pain, but my September flights were not entered correctly. You have repeated my August flights in the September table. Apologies, I do appreciate you taking on this role, I have been in a similar position and it is a thankless task!

Here it is

I hear you. Everyone always wants that but it will never happen as airlines set the rules to maximise their cash income to give them the best possible chance that their business will survive. All businesses are the same. There is no room for sentimentality, especially when running an airline...

The pilot cannot fully recline!

They go up like all other tickets. Nobody likes to pay more for something. The difference is that we don't whinge as much.

I've never had that happen! Although I have heard of mega wealthy Emiratis insisting that they be moved to a window seat, making the FAs go around the cabin asking window seat passengers if they are prepared to move.

Sorry Duffa, but I'm always in a paid F seat. So I will be taking delivery of that VB as soon as you can procure it with you QFF points or Skywards miles. I don't agree with you. I believe we all have something to contribute here regardless of how we travel, how we purchase our fares or the...

Yes, that is a significant dilemma. I have almost a million Skywards miles which never expire as I'm EK platinum. The only thing I can use them for is obtaining business reward seats for my 2 daughters. At more than 400k miles each, that uses up my miles quite quickly. At this point, I can hear...

So I guess my main value to the community will be answering questions re Emirates, except I don't use miles for awards or upgrades. But I will answer any question to the best of my ability!
