...enjoyed a pleasant journey with Emirates from UK via Dubai onwards to India and have no hesitation in recommending this airline for any part of your journey. Emirates is the international airline of the United Arab Emirates. It is currently expanding its fleet that consists of mainly Boeing 777’s, Airbus A330’s, A310’s and A300’s with more Boeing’s and a super jumbo A380 which is meant to carry more than 500 passengers! ...

Advantages: Friendly, Genuine Staff. Wide Destination List. Clean Planes
Disadvantages: Food Choice Repeated on Return Journey

I recently flew on Emirates airlines to Dubai from Birmingham International, and then back again obviously, 12 days later! Emirates bill themselves as an award winning airline, having won 190 awards for excellence, including Airline of the Year in 2000. These awards certainly reflect the standard of service I experienced. Emirates are based out of Dubai airport, and with their fleet of Boeing 777’s and various Airbus planes they serve many ...

...have travelled maximum time by Emirates Airlines. Emirates is a part of The Emirates Group from Dubai & it is the Ninth largest airline in the world. but for me its the best Airlines i have travel with & i think it will be for most of the time.

Advantages: On-time ... erm, on-time ..
Disadvantages: leg room, customer service, entertainment on older aircraft

...a very mixed experience with Emirates recently. It was the first time I had flown with them and after reading the reviews on Ciao was prepared for a really nice flight. We flew Emirates from Birmingham to Dubai, and then onwards to Bangkok. Online check in is excellent and I would recommend this to anybody that has access to the internet, straight forward and no queues at the airport, unfortunately we were not able to use this service on the return ...

Advantages: Excellent Customer Service, Always on Time, Comfortable
Disadvantages: Sometimes you will find cheaper rates with Travel agents than booking Direct with Airline

...to share my exprience with Emirates Airline and should say that I will recommend it to anyone who wants to enjoy their flights. I am a frequent flyer (both for Business and Personal purposes)and tried Emirates 3 years back on recommendation from my friends and soon realised that flying can be fun. I booked my tickets from their website and did get a good rate for the time since it was only weeks before my Trip. I had an option for choosing my ... Read review

Advantages: Big seats. Stop at Dubai. Entertainment system.
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...the choice came down to Emirates and Garuda. Well, what with all the shenanigans in East Timor at the time, Indonesia was not the world’s favourite country, so we thought we’d take a look at Emirates. The website is fairly simple. Not fussy, too busy or confusing. We learned that Emirates had been voted Airline of the Year and that the fleet of aircraft was practically brand new. It was only a few quid more than Garuda, so we went ... Read review

Advantages: Food, Inflight Service
Disadvantages: Customer Service, Gate Agents

...I purchased a round trip Emirates e-ticket urgently from an independent agent in Austin, TX. There were so many problems during this round trip journey that I am writing two separate paragraphs to cover the entire experience. Houston, TX to Dhaka, Bangladesh: I left on July 10th to ensure that I am in Dhaka for my father’s surgery on the 12th. I was supposed to fly Continental from Houston to JFK and then make an Emirates connection to Dubai ... Read review

Advantages: very helpful staff, comfortable, free drinks
Disadvantages: expensive

...few companies we decided on Emirates priced at £767 return. This may sound expensive but it was at peak season. Gulf Air were £30 cheaper but we were warned against them due to their reputation for delays. When you are doing a 21-hour journey the last thing you want is delays. When we booked the tickets we had to give them a return date but we were told that we could change it as many times as we wanted for free. That was a good deal as other companies ... Read review

Advantages: Space, comfort and staff helpfulness
Disadvantages: None!

...the last six months and Emirates is the fourth airline I have flown with since February, so I think I’m in a relatively strong position to express my opinion of them. I have to admit right now, that I found myself flying them due to business and as such I was flying business class. I’d never flown anything but economy before, and I have to admit, business class was unadulterated luxury compared to cattle class. That’s why it’s ... Read review

Advantages: Punctual. Good Fleet. Good in flight service
Disadvantages: Very few

Emirates Airline is one of the most rapidly expanding airlines. This carrier has its HQ and hub in Dubai; it has been based there since its inception in 1985.

This airline has a very modern fleet composed primarily of Boeing 777 and European Airbus aircraft and currently flies to almost 60 destinations around the world.These ... Read review

Advantages: they know how to treat you good
Disadvantages: not a thing

We had never flown with Emirates Airlines but had of course heard that they have been voted the top Airline numerous times. We travelled with them to Dubai. Imust explain that we won this trip so we had no choice in the airline we flew with but if and I hope we do go again we would fly with these again. We caught the 10pm flight as it would mean a sleep on the plane and because of the 3 hour time difference we would arrive in Dubai at 8.30 ... Read review

Advantages: Reasonable Price with great services and conditions
Disadvantages: When the flight is not on schedule then the whole connecting flight mess up

...board, comfort on board, etc…etc… All Emirates aircraft are provided with personal TVs and have fax and telephone facilities as well. Before take-off passengers are offered reading material, and towels. Once in the air, passengers are treated with a choice of meals and free drinks. For children the airhostess will provide some toys and games or they can watch the children movies or play games on the personal TV. This is the greatest thing that ... Read review
