Emirates review by Liz 2016-02-05

Worst flying experience!
We took the flight from Hong Kong to Dubai- and it literally is the ‘sardine class’ in economy with Emirates. They put so much focus on their elite first class people that the economy is just squished together with no comfort at all. The seats cannot fit people comfortably because they are small and narrow & the person next to you & infront of you, is basically on you.
The food was cold indian masala chicken which was way too spicey (I’m indian). The online experience in booking was shady- they say ‘techinical difficulties’ on their site for flights that are full now giving you the impression that the flight for that price is available. The price online vs phoning is different & their staff isn’t helpful in telling you if certain seats are free before you purchase- this is a must if you have babies flying with you & you want that more legroom in that sardine class. Dubai is great, Emirates is horrible though. Fly something else even if it costs a bit more, because the seat comfort, personal space and traveling with kids ,these are important for the long flight. Take another airline!
