Limewood how did you find the seating travelling with your wife?
We did the centre CX seats on the out leg then the side windows on the return, always more room on latter the storage bins are very handy after fews weeks in Europe, Mrs Lime watched movies anyway.
Cruiser Elite,
CX were excellent, EK were more so in recognition dept.
and dajop,
We had a real nice chicken dish on way out, didn't bother to eat on red eye return to CNS (under 7 hours) as we had gorged ourselves in the CX 1st lounges before HKG departure.
some trivia...
Tried out the newly installed Airbus 380 simulator in Dubai, took off from HKG, flew low around the city and landed smack bang in middle of runway, instructor reckons I'm a born natural, but guess he says that to all who've tried it!, it was a great experience I must say. Cost was a mere AED350 (Dirham's) about AUD$100.
