Emirates Airlines - UAE

...Abu Dhabi last year with Emirates and i can safely say they are one of the best airlines I have ever flown on and I have flown a lot. Check in was noramal not particularly fast or slow, the flights were both on time to the minute which was very impressive! The flight itself was outstanding, we flew on their new aircraft, the seats were spacious, comfortable and spotless, leg room was good. Their crew on board were dressed beautifully, they were respectful ...
...and friendly towards westeners. they were very attentive and the flight seamed to fly by (excuse the play on words!) the only problem we did have was flying home, it was packed and when we got on board we asked to be upgraded, the checken agent had said their was space available and we would be able to purchase upgrades on board the plane, the staff member said he would be happy to move us up and take credit card payment however he never came back ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

Flew by Emirates from Nairobi to Dubai. Flight got delayed from airport by several hours - no communication received by airline staff, total chaos, and very unhelpful. Ended up going to Dubai 2 days later on the next available flight, which meant missing out on 2 days in Dubai, for which we had already paid. Have still not received refund on our package in Dubai, which we had booked through Emirates directly. On the plane itself, inspite of specifically ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

...had one ticket PNR. The Emirates Sales representative promised that the luggage will be checked in but at the Chicago airport we were told of 12 hour stopover restriction. Our Mistake No. 1 in choosing Emirates. We were given misleading information about luggage check-in at the point-of-sale of tickets 2. Emirates reservation agent assured us repeatedly that Emirates will provide us basinet for our 10 month old son for the 14 hr 20 min journey(New ...
...we expected better service. 4. Emirates Airhostesses will avoid you in the plane if you have a crying baby (which was the case with our baby as he could not sleep in the 14 hr journey without basinet). We were mistaken in expecting understanding and professional behaviour from a world class crew. If you are still enthu about flying by Emirates, Good Luck and God Bless You. As for us, we will pay any premium to fly by any other airlines (AA, NWA, ...

Wow what can I say - this airline is truly a 5 star airline, Managed to get exit seats on the flight on the way to Dubai when I went two years ago. Remember it like it was yesterday, the service was outstanding. The hostesses are stunning with their smart uniform. They provided a great menu so we could choose are food. Its nice they include drink too! Wasn't delayed which is good. I would definitely travel with them again - would even pay extra to ...
...class! I did ask if there was any spare seats there but they charged an extra £300. I did get good value for money for the flight and was pleased I managed to get exit seats. Also you can pick and choose what you want to watch on the individual TV's. They were quick with the bags both ends also. ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

I travelled with Emirates (Economy class) in April this year. I flew to Australia via Dubai so in all the flight was 22 hours. Emirates really look after you, meals are great, staff are really professional and friendly, seats are really comfy with loads of leg room (My other half is 6'4"! leg room is very important!). The seat back entertainment was great, it kept me entertained for hours! There was a massive choice of movies, music and games. The ...
...only comment on the down side I would make is that on the long haul flight it would have been better if there was another toilet. There was only 4 toilets for the economy passagers. I would highly recommend Emirates to all - best airline I have travelled with. ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

I travelled with Emirates earlier this year from Munich to Dubai and Dubain to Cochin in South India. I cannot understand the complaints from passenger named Lucie. I have never been treated so well on an airline - check in, seating, entertainment, service, food etc - and I am a very fussy person. I am recommending to all my friends and family to travel with Emirates whenever possible and will be returning to India again next year with the same airline. Sometime a person's own attitude affects the outcome of a trip. Be open-minded, be demanding where necessary and treat the service staff with great respect and it will come back at you 100% or more. of course that cannot cure a broken seat or old airplane! ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

...ever given any award to Emirates must have never set a foot in economy class. (It's a fact Emirates has never won any award for Economy Class !) Recently flew EK 751 from Dubai to Casablanca, October 12th, Seat 21G to be the worst flying experience in over 30 years of travel. Arriving from Singapore and unlucky for me, the flight was full with returning Pilgrims from Mecca. Did inquire twice during the chaotic boarding for an unlikely upgrade even ...
...The 10 seats abreast on Emirates Boeing 777s is a complete Insult and another prove that Emirates has no concern to Economy class passenger confort. Was seated next to a slightly overweight passenger and was pushed back toward the aisle the entire flight, unable to find a suitable position to rest or sleep on this eight hours trip and just let being bumped and hit the entire flight by other guests , trolleys and rushing crew members and won't mention ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

...The first impression with Emirates was good one. I got 10kg's extra luggage allowance because I was a student. The flight from Dhaka to Dubai was packed but still it wasn't annoying. The friendly stewards welcomed with hot towels and soon with snacks and lunch. The brand new boeing 777ER was fantastic with very little noise. Onboard ICE was fantastic and had the latest movies on demand. Top chart musics and even tv shows are available there. They ...
...update it on flight. The stopover wasn't boring because the duty free shop in dubai airport was full of glitters. The second leg of the journey was as timely as the first one. There wasn't many passengers so everyone on board had three seats to share! Sadly, ICE was missing on the DXB-LHR route since they were using comparatively older planes. But the inflight menu and comfort compensated for it. I would of course recommend Emirates! ...

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

Emirates sucks!! My mom missed her Emirates connection at London due to Heathrow immigration issues. After 6 extra hours she took the next available flight to Dubai (from London Gatwick). However, due to the previous delay she had to wait 20plus hours for her next flight to India (which was also Emirates). Emirates refused to give her any lodging during the 20plus hour wait. She offered to pay for room and they kept on refusing. She is 60 years old and I think Emirates' service was very bad in this case. My previous impression about Emirates has changed. Avoid Heathrow and avoid Emirates. Both suck equally!! ...

...was practical I would choose Emirates above any other airline. The two occassions I have flown with them the cabin crew have given the impression they positively care that you should enjoy your flight. In addition the food was excellent, there was enough space to be comfortable, water was brought to passengers regularly, extra food and drink was easily available and best of all everone has their own TV/radio/games console. Additonal service was impressive ...
...transfer between Air France and Emirates caused my luggage to go astray, yet the airline (despite not being at fault) were courteous and quick to provide financial compensation. Transfers at Dubai airport are likely to be enjoyable as it is a very modern airport with all the facilities you would wish for. Icing on the cake. I have flown with a reasonable number of different airlines, and despite my excellent experience with some of those, Emirates ...

Emirates are a fantastic airline to fly with and are so friendly and helpful. I flew emirates last year to australia my first long distance flight and they were so supportive and helpful and reassuring . Crew members are fantastic with the children and provide excellent childrens meals and also some goodies to for them.

Review of Emirates Airlines - UAE

I first flew Emirates from London Gatwick to Osaka, and compared with the other airlines that I've flown with, it is certainly the best in my opinion. Surprisingly, during the summer season, it is also one of the cheapest options for this route. The first leg, in a Boeing 777, featured plenty of seat/leg space, friendly cabin crew, and a personal TV for everyone. All this in economy class! There were no problems with the tasty vegetarian meal that ...
...not disappear after the first hour or so, providing a friendly service throughout. As the flight was not overly booked, the lady at the check-in desk made sure to allocate me to a seat where my friend and I would have an empty space between us, which was useful. The second leg, in an Airbus A320, was of the same standard, and the 15 hour-in-total flight just 'flew by'! ...

From the moment of check in to being delievered to your hotel by limousine,t his is a trully all round first class service. The cabin crew and everyone associated with the company are really friendly and will help you and tend to your every whim. The seats are ever so comfortable and they give you noise cancelling headphones which really help you to enjoy the films much more and with so much room, it makes it easy to get to sleep so when you arrive, ...
...not too tired which is always great. The selection of both food and entertainment on board is superb. with a choice of starters and main courses and desert, you can always find something you will like and as far as the entertainment is concerned, you cannot fault it. With around 20 channels of films, tv shows and even a camera pointing out the front of the plane you will not get bored, but if this isn't enough for you, the seats are even fitted with ...

...well as the good service, Emirates invariably serves good food and a large variety of wines, spirits and soft drinks. Their inflight enetertainment system is state of the art, with inbuilt video screens in each seat with touch control for you to watch films or play interactive games. They had the usual uninspiring selection of all airlines though. I enjoyed watching Chicken Run as I hadn't seen it before. But the chance to see the ubiquitous Mr Bean ...
...me, which would be a turn-off for some others, is that they are one of the very few airlines which still allows smoking. I'd sit in an old crate if they'd let me smoke. But Emirates piles on the luxury and lets you kill yourself in comfort. I like it! ...
