Hi All,
First time I have tried Emirates. BKK - SYD last Sunday.
777 Aircraft in F
Didn't really know what to expect. Really appreciated the limo transfer at both ends (even though travelling on points). Other airlines could learn from this.
Observations.
Lounge in BKK was ordinary to say the least and food choice underwhelming.
Boarding procedure basically a free for all
Nice greeting upon boarding and to be honest was a little amazed by the cabin fit out. It is certainly different to SQ / QF. A little over the top in the glitzy stakes. Anyway very comfortable seat and amenities. Slept well.
Service. Very polite but really not sure if this was some sort of trainee crew. The order for my first drink was forgotten. The next one white wine with the meal was lukewarm. Didn't say anything to start with but when the crew chief presented asked him if he could find a white that was cold. He obliged without a problem immediately. Unfortunately the new wine was colder but only marginally. I don't know what was going on but how can they stuff it up twice!! Gave up had my meal and went to sleep. Food was OK (snapper main course) but nothing to rave about.
Plane landed and disembarkation was delayed due to a sick passenger. A nice little terse conversation between Emirates ground rep and cabin crew about quarantine being needed or not. All in view of the passengers. Not the most professional moment.
Anyway, overall much prefer SQ (please some limo transfers).
Maybe this was one of those flights but really don't understand how they have taken over the world. I certainly would think twice about travelling with them again.
