Emirates review by Ned 2016-03-08

I really don’t understand what the fuss is all about with Emirates. I recently had the chance to fly Emirates twice and both flights were nothing but average. The food on Emirates was really terrible and the service was not any different than any bad US airlines. In fact the only thing good about Emirates was the newer planes. Aside from that the seats were not comfortable and the flight attendant only served us one meal and came twice with some water and juice in a 8 hour flight form JNB to DBX. Same thing happened on my 8 hour flight from DBX to LHR. Comparing Emirates to Turkish Airlines or Lufthansa or JAL, Emirates definitely in bottom in economy class. Maybe there first class and business is different but economy was terrible. Not enough leg room on the same plane I have taken with a different airlines. The seats were smaller and they have more seats in a row on 777 than Turkish or Lufthansa. Overall they weren’t that bad but definitely not even in the top 20.
