Emirates Airlines

Pros: The food was OK.
Cons: Service. Comfort. Constant delays.

My family and I have flown on Lauda (now Austrian) on our last three flights from Australia to Europe, and were extremely happy. I mean, economy class travel over that distance is never going to be a lot of fun, but the comfort and service was as good ...

Pros: Nice hospitality. Comfortable journey
Cons: Overbooked always. Long Arabic Speeches

I have travelled twice with Emirates From India to Dubai (India-DXB). On both occasions, me and my fellow passengers had to wait to board after the security check. They always had some trouble during boarding. Maybe because Emirates is quite orthodox and...

Pros: Good service, well-thought operations, good veggie food
Cons: Bad connections

Ranking (1-10): 7
Pros: Good service, well-thought operations, good veggie food
Cons: Bad connections

CREW SERVICE:
The air line is generally very good, the in-flight crew is helpful. The ground services are slightly unorganized...

Pros: We chose Emirates because they had the most convenient timings
Cons: Everything else. The most horrible airline experience of my life.

When an airline (a) has no services or facilities for disabled passengers (b) has a Customer Service Dept that insists nothing is wrong (c) and then, when confronted, has a Customer Service Manager who lies about the services available - You know you ...

Pros: Service, legroom, food and overall standard of aircraft.
Cons: Business & first class less lavish than expected. No alliance membership.

I have heard a lot about their service and I approached them with very high expectations when I flew from LHR to Nairobi via Dubai. Inflated expectations usually lead to shattered dreams, but on this occasion I found that they were every bit as excellent ...

Pros: Everything
Cons: ???

The first thing that you are likely to note as soon as you enter the cabin of the Emirates aircraft are these really cute TVs at the back of all seats, which give you a good idea of the delights to come.The seats are comfortable, with legrests and each...

Pros: Professional, considerate cabin-crew. Good food. Good in-flight entertainment. Good provision for baby.
Cons: Not the cheapest airline, particularly when flying from the Middle East.

I recently travelled between Dubai and Manchester (U.K.) alone with my four month old son and was very pleasantly surprised. I had been warned by friends that flying alone with an infant would be an arduous experience, that cabin crew would not hold the ...

Pros: Good food and service on board, lots of in-flight entertainment options
Cons: Baggage handling, punctuality and attitude of staff when things don't do according to plan

We traveled on the BLR-DXB-JFK-*** sector. We have not included the final destination for anonymity - suffice to say that it is a major city in the mid-west. Two of the three sectors were on Emirates and the last one from JFK to our final destination ...

Pros: Daily flight Good onboard entertainment and food
Cons: Staff in Colombo not very polite Handling of asians in Dubai not nice

I would also like to share my 2 cents about emirates. My name is Janaka (janakaxyz@yahoo.com) and I am a Sri Lankan living in Germany and I travel to Sri lanka at least twice a year. And up until last year (2002) I was flying emirates. First I must ...

Pros: easy booking via website - excellent flight crew - good vegetarian food
Cons: lack of leg room in economy

Booked the flights via the Emirates website which is very easy to use and hassle free (and they're giving double airpoints until the end of March '04). Collected tickets and booked hotels at their Sydney office - staff efficient and know their business. ...

Pros: The food was OK
Cons: All else was dreadful

I wish to express my extreme disappointment with travel using Emirates airlines, over 2 longhaul flights in the past 3 weeks. My first flight was on the 24/11/06; Departing Heathrow, London to Dubai, EK2 @ 1345hrs. The first issue I encountered ...

Pros: Good food. Reasonably efficient. Transit baggage arrived without trouble.
Cons: Overhyped. Too popular. Economy seat width: V TIGHT.

Journey Flew Emirates return from London to Bangkok, economy via Dubai. I was expecting, from the glowing reviews here, an experience which would leave me reluctant to disembark from their aircraft. But the best part of the flight was, as ...

Pros: Now this is a tough one.
Cons: Too many to mention.

I've flown International First Class on, I would guess, eight different airlines. I have no idea how Emirates has gotten these awards for having the best First Class.....perhaps the judges are from Dubai? The reality is that Emirates First Class is ...

Pros: In my experience, everything but the con
Cons: sorta racist

I have flown a number of times in both Economy and Business on Emirates over the past 5 years, and have only had one bad flight experience, and that had more to do with the one-hour non-stop flight turbulence that almost made me throw up.

I...

Pros: Good IFE on the newer planes. Pleasant staff. Good food.
Cons: Overcrowded planes

Flew from BHX to DXB then to Male (Maldives). B777 was a great plane, all new with great IFE. Food was good. This plane was not full despite being told at BHX that it was a full flight. After 7 hours and a 2 1/2 hour wait a DXB was greatly ...
