Emirates review by James 2016-05-20

I’m amazed at some of the poor reviews. I fly Emirates all the time between US and Mid East, and Mid East and SE Asia. It is a very reliable, on time airline and cabin crew very friendly and helpful. To me, what makes or breaks a good experience are the passengers, and one needs to be very aware that certain nationalities do not discipline children, and are free to scream and impose with total disregard to others. Emirates can’t randomly select who they let on board. And while crew frequently bring soft drinks around during a flight, passengers also should be aware that a snack basket with drinks is kept in the galley, to collect at will. Food in economy is on par with other airlines, and if you fly frequently on a route, the menu tends to stay the same. In business, the meals are great, as are snacks in bar area. If I have a complaint, it’s not against Emirates, but the congestion at DXB, which can lead to delayed push-backs and holding patterns. I’ve been a gold card member for years, and will always choose Emirates. They’ve never let me down.
