Emirates review by John 2014-10-18

I flew Emirates from Perth (B777) to Milan (A330) via Dubai and came back to Perth from Istanbul (B777) via Dubai.
Cabin service was very good, meal were of a high quality and substantial, spirits were readily available if you wanted them, entertainment system was good.
Connections in Dubai were awful being 5 hours 45 minutes going to Europe and 9 hours 25 minutes coming home. Emirates advised me that if I wanted a better connection coming home, I would have to make an extra payment for my fully paid ticket and this unexpected long connection was the result of the early bird special deal, my travel agent couldn’t do anything about this.
