i have to agree with you on a380take off. i was recently on an a380 and i dont even feel like it is on the run way fast enough for take off. but it did. it was really smooth. Unlike other air craft where youactually feel the speed and loud noise of the air craft while taking off.

Wow, that’s really disappointing given how impressed I was with their service and space. No complimentary drinks even? They really should let you know if it’s going to be operated by a different airline! And especially if they’re offering such a reduced service!

The prices can vary a lot. When I flew with them (always Amsterdam to Dubai and back), it was only a bit more expensive than other options and the times were much better for me than other options. And that little bit more legroom makes all the difference for me! I flew just recently on British Airways to Beirut and noticed how much smaller and lower resolution the screen was than on those Emirates flights.

We flew with Emirates based on their advertising and promise of wider seats, more legroom, better food and overall better experience and paid almost double price than other companies were charging, just to be more comfortable on a 6 hours flight from Prague to Dubai. Outbound flight was with their partner company Fly Dubai. Regular narrow seats and no complimentary drinks and food as they advertise.
Not even complimentary water on a 6 hours flight !
Inbound flight was Airbus 380, a little wider seats and a little more legroom but nothing that would be worthy double price. Complimentary food just OK.

In reply to Michele Peterson. I'm sure air quality makes a difference, and the newer planes circulate and filter the air more. And I know the A380 has lighting that changes gradually in a way that's supposed to help passengers minimize jetlag.

Interesting post as well as info in the comments about the A380. I’m starting to wonder if jetlag is at related to the type of airplane a person flies. For example I recently flew Rome-Toronto the identical time or day etc as I have in the past and had no jetlag at all. Other times it suffered for days. Perhaps air quality and lighting plays a longer role than just during the flight.

I’ve never flown Emirates but I’ve heard good things about them. I’ve always been to the Middle East on Etihad, who are excellent. From your account I think Emirates must be similar to Etihad.

I just returned from a flight on a Delta Connect CJR-700 and I’m envious of Economy Class on Emirates. Can’t imagine what First Class is like. I guess I’ll go take a look at your link:-)
