I will say, I don't know who catered your Emirates flights, but on my EK flights (JFK-DXB-HYD) the only food that was bad is some side salads. The food on EK is some of the best ive had. Great review Josh and stay safe!
Well if he flew from Bangkok it would’ve been catered by Bangkok Airways. In my experience they’re pretty average and I think Thai Airways’ catering services is a lot better. One thing they do good though is really fresh salads. They have a contract with “Royal project” who are a group of govt-subsidised farmers who do really great veggies.
I flew Emirates on the A380 almost 20 times. I definitely agree with you on the terrible wifi, however I see the food as normal and much better than many airlines
When it comes to food and beverages I feel like the quality on Emirates has decreased massively over the past years. When I flew with them for the first time in the early 2010s from Hamburg to Beijing via Dubai I still remember the crew serving drinks every few hours to all the economy passengers without being asked. Also the meals felt a little "bigger" and more filling. When I flew with them again last spring from Hamburg to Melbourne via Dubai the meals were smaller and drinks were only served with the meals. If you wanted to drink anything in between you had to call the crew over, climb over your neighbours or hope to catch one of the few drinks they carried on a small tablet and offered to the few people who payed attention. Also if it wasn't for my friend giving me half of her meals I would have starved. Especially on the 14 hour leg from Dubai to Melbourne one Meal and a piece of microwaved pizza and the tiny breakfast were not enough. Sure I could have raided the snack bar but that wouldn't have been fair to all the other passengers. 😂 Though the service overall was and has always been great with Emirates and their entertainment system is the best I have experienced so far it still feels wrong to arrive at the destination of an almost 30 hour trip hungry as hell. Especially since I'm not the biggest guy and would even argue that I eat less than the average man. 😅
I think it has to do with culture. Asian crews are friendly and humble. Crews of Western airline companies are more spontaneous, have humor and all topics can be discussed. Whether it is about the flight or personal opinions. My last flight was to Malaysia with KLM. I spoke to the crew and we talked about everything, even about our personal lives. I would never dare to speak to an Asian crew and ask about her family situation. I sometimes enjoyed chatting with a crew, especially on long intercontinental flights. And of course, safety comes first for the crew members.
Emirates really have gone down quite a bit in the past few years. No more hot towels and amenity kits, no more pre meal snack & drink, extra payment for seat selections and so on. Kind of sad to see this happening, as they should get better instead of worse.
Agree.. on over 80 flights with Emirates only once did the senior flight attendant introduce himself to me saying he appreciated it's skywards frequent flyers. I really appreciated this and the fact he asked if I would like my preferred alcoholic beverage. But as the drinks are free.. it took the edge of his jesture a little. Emirate's.. you need to engage more
I love the way he didn't want to intrude on his two seat mates to film his review, but then took over one of the toilet for so many minutes and probably caused a queue of a dozen people.
I have flown with Emirates quite a bit, only in Economy though. I found their flight crew to be grumpy and showed selective politeness. Their best service was reserved for people from "specific" parts of the world. The food was always good IMHO. As a contrast, their ground staff was EXCEPTIONAL, unbiased and totally professional with the occasional personal touch. Funny if you ask me.
ive found that to be the opposite. The ground staff at the terminals in Dubai is borderline aggressive and the flight crew is amazing. Speaking for regular flights to Auckland
Fair comments about economy class in general and I personally am a big fan of the Emirates product on the A380. As you said, great seat and awesome IFE.
For me, I actually loved Singapore Airlines.... I've been flying with them since my days as a kid with my parents in the 80s, and right up until 2019 on their awesome A380.... the staff to me were great.... and very talkative.... wanting to find out about my trip, where I travelled too; if I needed something, I was waited on immediately and accommodated.... food was fantastic. Planes were always clean and nicely kept. They are as far as I'm concerned, the best international airline in the world. I would choose them over Emirates any day, and flying to the best airport in the world Changi Airport is an added bonus, for the connecting hub. Especially now that they have Changi Jewel....
I flew Emirates from Scotland to Australia, great cabin crew and I found the food on my flights to be better than most airlines. Going there I flew Glasgow-Dubai-Singapore-Melbourne and returned Melbourne-Dubai-Glasgow, it must be amazing to fly business/first class on long haul flights
Thanks for the great review Josh. I’m an infrequent traveller but have been going back and forth across the Atlantic every year for 25 years now. What I do is order a special meal to get something a little tastier...Halal or Indian are usually quite good. And the FAs also tell me that those are their favorites. Try it! Take care, stay safe and hope to see you up in the air again soonest! Liebe Grüße aus Essen.
Emirates food in all classes once was outstanding, but that was 10 and 15 years ago. I agree with you, that now it is often bland, served with little (Business) or no attention (Economy) to any detail. It seems Emirates nowadays need to cut costs at any price and with the food and the kindness of the crew they start. I had crews over the last 2 to 3 years, who made you feel more as if you are in a Russian gulag, than on a premium airline. Since I live in Dubai, I have been a Skywards premium member for 2 daceads and do my fair share of flying every year. Lately the decline- especially in economy and even more in business becomes worrisome to the frequent flyer. I personally am scared that Emirates goes the same direction Etihad did... or Lufthansa years ago... sad..
427 configuration seats 76 business class and 14 first class suites. Personal entertainment, USB slot, cup holder and foldable table blanket, noise cancelling headphones and pillow, blanket. Remote control, power outlet is missing. Safe trip to Bangkok Thailand to Dubai UAE from Frankfurt, Germany. WiFi network are required.
My thoughts on the food in Emirates? At least it won’t kill me like some other meals 😂 Also, I couldn’t agree more about the WiFi, I tried it in November on my flight from Dubai to New York JFK for free, it was so bad the time limit passed in no time, so I had to buy a better package and finish what I was doing haha
I ve travelled emirates a380 economy from dubai to boston... And trust me they served the best turkey i ever had and i was dying to return so i could taste their meals again
My 82 year old mother has just has to cancel her Emirates flight due to corona virus, they have charged her GBP 500, needless to say she will not be flying with emirates again
Thanks, Josh. I have to agree with your comments. I recently received a request from United to comment after a round trip flight. I told them I'm continually disappointed that no one greets passengers as they board....the FA is hiding in the galley texting on her cell phone. I also don't understand why a FA cannot respond in kind when I thank them and smile for delivering a drink or a snack. I get it...their jobs are not easy...but if you don't like people and don't enjoy engaging with passengers, then please consider you might be in the wrong profession. My...how things have changed.
I flew emirates EK322 from DXB to ICN and I had ordered the pre ordered Hindu Non veg meal. It was really tasty! I think you should try the preorderd foods on emirates. Also, the western food option on menus always seem to be the most bland or dry. They out the eastern or Asian varieties. It may be worth your try on all the middle eastern and Asian airlines.
Have had the privilege to fly Emirates a few times (both cattle class and biz), and my experience is that the crew on cattle is more attentive and service minded than on biz. The crew on biz is more blaze and seems a bit bored, so if Emirates could get the same level of ''I see you'' in biz, it would be a winner. P,s love your videos
Emirates do supply tooth brushes, eye shades, socks and paste and Singapore Airlines on my 17 1/2 flight 11/23/2019 SFO to Singapore didn’t provide any of that, they actually removed my Tumi lock from my luggage! I was first introduced to Covid on Singapore Airlines! And also those Singapore girls most definitely not as friendly as Emirates crew’s!
You spent a lot of time in the bathroom. Was there a line when you finally came out? Seriously, it was a fine video and much appreciated in this time when we are stuck at home. Stay safe and healthy>
I agree with the food selection. I have been flying with Emirates for a couple of years. Overall, it's value for money except the food. They've cut costs quite drastically and it's gone lower. I especially don't like seeing that chocolate blob which they disguised as a dessert mousse. So I always try to eat well before my flight
in regards to the food: If you want the chicken, you need to book the first half of the cabin as they always start in the very front - not from front and back or even several starting points, no, at the front. So in the last rows, you'll wait 2 hours for your food and the chicken will never be an option. I've had this exact experience on 6 consecutive long haul flights to and from australia and on the last flight got really pissed of. They started their deascalation speeches, I apologized and then got another chicken meal that was found somewhere surprisingly...
I fly evry now and then, with Emirates from Stockholm to Mauritius via Dubai on the B777 and A380, and I am very expecting about the food on board, but I´ve never been disappointed on Emirates. In fact I really enjoy the food on Emirates every time. But as You all understand, that is only my version of this with airline food.
I'm surprised that you didn't like the food, because it's always delicious. But, no doubt, the best I'd had in Emirates is on the Dubai-Heathrow route, every single time. But I agree with the WiFi, it's rubbish.
I don't really think you pay a "premium" though to fly Emirates. It's the same cost as any other full-service airlines... Flight cost depends on the date and time of booking, as well as where you're flying too, different airlines will have different prices depending on the time of year and location in respect to their home base.
And about the food my impression was, that Emirates is, probably, the most Vegan Vegetarian friendly airline. With a very interesting menu in this segment of service. Also the way Emirates treats the long time transit economy class tourists - passengers at the Dubai International Airport... The vouchers they deliver and the whole airport... Only Singapore International airport can be compared to DAX... Although, I liked very much the colorful elephants in Suwarnabumi and in New Delhi...
I took A380 from boston to dubai... An extremely comfortable, modern and beautiful aircraft. I also took 777 and there is no comparison with 380. It truly is superior.
@@girlsdontp00p for me it was manageable. Depends on you comfort, height etc.. it was extra 200 when I flew back in 2019. It might be more expensive now. Rest assured you will be amazed by the sheer enormity of a380.
I agree that the food on Emirates is one of the few weak points. I have only flown Emirates Business Class over many years and it used to be said that their food was one of the strong points. I think they have let it slide. As a lifelong Qantas fan and frequent flyer for 50 years I know that in the early days the Emirates food was said to be far superior but, the tables have turned and now Qantas has totally eclipsed Emirates in the catering department. It's a shame because overall their cabins and ground service are so impressive. Oh well, if enough people talk about it, the ones who put their money where there mouth is and pay for a premium product.....maybe we can give them a little wake up call. Love your reviews. Keep smiling and keep up the good work.
Hi Josh. I would be very interested in seeing you do a review on an Emirates economy flight, from London to Dubai with short layover, then continue in economy to Brisbane. Don't forget a good neck support pillow though. I think the food is pretty good, hubby not so keen though 😊 and Cabin crew very pleasant and helpful, apart from only one flight when service and crew wasn't up to standard . Love your reviews.
The thing I'm always looking for is legroom, I always choose the aisle seat. He didn't mention anything about legroom. What's the legroom like in Economy?
That is so true about what you mention in the Singapore airlines economy review. It is definitely more on the pricey side compare to other airlines and when they strongly praise themselves for being the best in the world and having the best cabin crew, you expect them to be at their top game, regardless being in business or economy. However I have been flying with both Emirates and SA and so far the crews were great.
I had Emirates flights 5 years ago, the food was delicious, but unfortunately at that time you only received a few breads only for breakfast, but overall, the service was excellent
It's a real pity the food has taken such a dive, but it certainly has done so of the last few years in particular. I remember flying them in 2003 and getting a huge slab of fresh moist salmon on a full sized tray with salad and moist carrot cake, it was basically a business class meal on other airlines of the time. I certainly rate the A380 very highly for passenger experience.
Emirates food, I flew from Newark to Athens Greece 777-300er 2018 r/t best service ever and I don’t remember the food being dry as a fart. Maybe you should try Delta/KLM and United on flight to Europe “ your confused “ 😂
Yes, Emirates is one of the most passenger friendly, hospitable airlines. Probably, number one in this category. Also very very clean. Though, I don't think, that I flew ever by the air lines, which are not clean, or unhygienic, but, through some reason, my recollecting impressions from Emirates, as the cleanest one... I wonder why... Probably, because Emirates do pay very careful attention to every detail of the service, including the toiletry... gels, soaps, etc..
I was supposed to fly with Emirates last month, but like lots of people plans had to change. The on flight entertainment seems okay. If you've flown with Lufthansa airline how would you compare the two? Asking since not sure who to rebook with (both will be economy)
I think emirates chooses which destination where to upgrade their service.... with my experience in business class from Manila- Dubai. They use an old aircraft or the cabin is not updated. Like TV screens are not HD, no amenity kit, no slippers and the food is disappointing. I expected so much with emirates but it is not worth it( the manila- dubai leg) but if you are flying to destinations like singapore, paris, amsterdam... the cabin is new and they have amenity kits.... hope you try it josh to see it for yourself :)
...It also does seem, that the airline food does depend a lot on the cooking policy of the outbound airport catering. How much to say and influence each airline has in this respect? Quite an interesting matter to research.
Ugh I miss flying already!! Talking about their food, Ive only been on the same route London - DXB - KUL/SIN for a few times and i must say it was exciting at first then it got really boring after that. MAS has better options. I just love having Nasi Lemak in the sky!
Emirates make it food depending on its route . If you are flying from India the it will serve Indian cuisine food . I also travelled on the emirates all’s classes and also in b777 and the a380. I think emirates makes the best food and also gives the best inflight experience.
I always fly Emirates the food depends on the route I fly Manchester Dubai and Dubai Delhi never had an issue with food main courses are nice the sweet dishes are good. I agree with internet but never had an issue with economy always a pleasure on any plane they use :)
Food on Emirates economy class is a disaster. Personally I always avoid the main course, I eat only the starters (including the salad 👎) and then the piece of dessert. I have sensitive stomach so main course on Emirates class will definitely triggers problems to my stomach. I guess the chef who is putting the standards worked for long on satwa Indian restaurants or labor camps catering.
EK food not bad, but some time when you pre-view the dining menu have some cause it show the menu but after flight take off some cause was not provide, dunno why, also the crew may be is come from different country and dunno the some country immigration document need.
I flew Emirates from BNE-DBX-BCN last year and the crew was very friendly and engaging. The food I had was delicious, although I pre ordered vegetarian online. Good video ✌🏻
I flew Emirates from Capetown via Dubai to Hamburg last year in Economy class. Both flights were very different. My first flight on the 777 was teribble. The crew was extremly unfriendly. They weren't even welcoming the passengers while Boarding and didn't say goodbye after landing. They were just talking to each other. They didn't smile once during the flight. The service was very slow. I agree with you on the food. It was dry and not enjoyable. I only got one full meal and an discusting sandwich before landing. There were only two drinks services in the entire flight. Thats not enough for a flight which is almost 10 hours long. My connection flight was the complete opposit. The crew was friendly and helpfull. They came around the cabin often. The food was allright on this flight. After the first flight the second one felt like a completely different airline. I experienced Emirates to be very inconcistent.

@joshcahill have you seen the movie 13 hours? it is a good movie if you are a history buff!
Dude I love your videos
I love Josh Cahill New videos
Hello Sir wanna know more about Miami
love your videos
Emirates inflight food is delicious.
I will say, I don't know who catered your Emirates flights, but on my EK flights (JFK-DXB-HYD) the only food that was bad is some side salads. The food on EK is some of the best ive had. Great review Josh and stay safe!
yeah flights to North America and London, the food in Emirates is quite good
Well if he flew from Bangkok it would’ve been catered by Bangkok Airways. In my experience they’re pretty average and I think Thai Airways’ catering services is a lot better. One thing they do good though is really fresh salads. They have a contract with “Royal project” who are a group of govt-subsidised farmers who do really great veggies.
Emirates line food is quite good. Really delicious and their economy is always the best.
Yeah I’ve had some of the best airplane food with Emirates
I flew Emirates on the A380 almost 20 times. I definitely agree with you on the terrible wifi, however I see the food as normal and much better than many airlines
Wait noo I actually find the meals on Emirates very tasty! At least that has been my experience every time I've flown them! Haha
I think it goes through ups and downs over time, and even which meal. Maybe something to do with who the catering company was?
Neil Bezuidenhout could be yeah!
I have always enjoyed the food on Emirates. It is the best I have had on any of the airlines I have travelled with.
Can I bang an air hostess too?
Just kidding
With what.. u r thingy small wewe
Agreed, better than Turkish airlines and Lufthansa
@@michaeljohn7466 and Qatar
I've travelled long haul international in economy with Emirates several times, and always been happy with the food.
Great video. Shame about the food, I've never heard the expression 'dry as a fart' before, might need to start using it :)
Lol. You can get wet farts too though!
You are also a youtuber
It comes from the German expression 'furztrocken'
When it comes to food and beverages I feel like the quality on Emirates has decreased massively over the past years. When I flew with them for the first time in the early 2010s from Hamburg to Beijing via Dubai I still remember the crew serving drinks every few hours to all the economy passengers without being asked.

Emirates Has THE BEST FOOD!!
5:05 - 8:41 after edits, there must be a huge line waiting outside the loo while you are busy vlogging 😂😂
I think it has to do with culture. Asian crews are friendly and humble. Crews of Western airline companies are more spontaneous, have humor and all topics can be discussed. Whether it is about the flight or personal opinions. My last flight was to Malaysia with KLM. I spoke to the crew and we talked about everything, even about our personal lives.

The fact that he is honest abt the food
I love your videos. One minor point of interest ; when you use the word ‘comprehensive ‘ you don’t need to us e’very’ , it’s implied. Serious big fan.
I'm so glad you're still uploading content. I'm also glad you're in perfect health.
I LOVE EMIRATES
Fair comments about economy class in general and I personally am a big fan of the Emirates product on the A380. As you said, great seat and awesome IFE.
Thanks Blake :)
bro i became a big fan of you i just saw a video and started seeing all from 1st i liked all those what a genuine person you are i am from india
ya bro me 2 from india
I have watched videos like this for days straight I’m so exicited my flight is on saturday
I do the same, Im travelling THIS Friday
Hello josh, I strongly agree on what you have said. In my opinion it is as good as some business class on other airlines
And i love emirates airline a380
For me, I actually loved Singapore Airlines.... I've been flying with them since my days as a kid with my parents in the 80s, and right up until 2019 on their awesome A380.... the staff to me were great.... and very talkative.... wanting to find out about my trip, where I travelled too; if I needed something, I was waited on immediately and accommodated.... food was fantastic.

I LOVE EMRATES
I flew Emirates from Scotland to Australia, great cabin crew and I found the food on my flights to be better than most airlines. Going there I flew Glasgow-Dubai-Singapore-Melbourne and returned Melbourne-Dubai-Glasgow, it must be amazing to fly business/first class on long haul flights
Hi Josh,.
Nice review as always. Their Economy class are superb. Heard they will roll out their Premium Economy in this coming December 2020.
Thanks for the great review Josh. I’m an infrequent traveller but have been going back and forth across the Atlantic every year for 25 years now. What I do is order a special meal to get something a little tastier...Halal or Indian are usually quite good. And the FAs also tell me that those are their favorites. Try it! Take care, stay safe and hope to see you up in the air again soonest! Liebe Grüße aus Essen.
I really, really appreciate the fact that you did not disturb the lady in the next seat due to your flight review... humane in the real sense!
Love to see that Boarding panel showing TP6346. ;)

I agree with you, that now it is often bland, served with little (Business) or no attention (Economy) to any detail.

Very nice video, Josh. I always love watching your reviews. Very realistic, no b/s and very straight to the point. Keep safe!

Josh I like your channel and honest reviews regarding many airlines in the world, in top of all it seems like you are a CHILL guy. Keep it up buddy

Just before the pandemic there was a mention about them slowly introducing Premium Economy, but only on newer fit-outs and not across the fleet.
I ve travelled emirates a380 economy from dubai to boston... And trust me they served the best turkey i ever had and i was dying to return so i could taste their meals again
My 82 year old mother has just has to cancel her Emirates flight due to corona virus, they have charged her GBP 500, needless to say she will not be flying with emirates again
Oh that really sucks, they should have return the money since it's a pandemic situation... Anyway, wish you and your mother a good health :)
Why did she cancel? They’re giving a 2 year period to change dates on already purchased tickets.
Thanks, Josh. I have to agree with your comments. I recently received a request from United to comment after a round trip flight.

I’m traveling from New York to Dubai on the 380. Do you recommend paying extra $150 for leg room or is regular economy manageable?
@@girlsdontp00p for me it was manageable. Depends on you comfort, height etc.. it was extra 200 when I flew back in 2019. It might be more expensive now. Rest assured you will be amazed by the sheer enormity of a380.
I agree that the food on Emirates is one of the few weak points. I have only flown Emirates Business Class over many years and it used to be said that their food was one of the strong points. I think they have let it slide. As a lifelong Qantas fan and frequent flyer for 50 years I know that in the early days the Emirates food was said to be far superior but, the tables have turned and now Qantas has totally eclipsed Emirates in the catering department. It's a shame because overall their cabins and ground service are so impressive. Oh well, if enough people talk about it, the ones who put their money where there mouth is and pay for a premium product.....maybe we can give them a little wake up call. Love your reviews. Keep smiling and keep up the good work.
nice review. TQVM Josh Cahill
Hi Josh. I would be very interested in seeing you do a review on an Emirates economy flight, from London to Dubai with short layover, then continue in economy to Brisbane. Don't forget a good neck support pillow though. I think the food is pretty good, hubby not so keen though 😊 and Cabin crew very pleasant and helpful, apart from only one flight when service and crew wasn't up to standard . Love your reviews.
Nice production 👍
Excellent review as always! Hope you are safe and well given the current situation :)
The thing I'm always looking for is legroom, I always choose the aisle seat. He didn't mention anything about legroom. What's the legroom like in Economy?
I don't mind Emirates economy food but on the Newcastle UK to Dubai route the menu does not seem to vary anymore.
That is so true about what you mention in the Singapore airlines economy review. It is definitely more on the pricey side compare to other airlines and when they strongly praise themselves for being the best in the world and having the best cabin crew, you expect them to be at their top game, regardless being in business or economy. However I have been flying with both Emirates and SA and so far the crews were great.
Nice video Josh my food opinonEmirates airline in all three cabins are delicious.
I had Emirates flights 5 years ago, the food was delicious, but unfortunately at that time you only received a few breads only for breakfast, but overall, the service was excellent
My favourite airline and A380 favorite aircraft. I think their hot meals are actually nice. Best IFE.
My favorite German youtuber
Did they screen u?
It's a real pity the food has taken such a dive, but it certainly has done so of the last few years in particular. I remember flying them in 2003 and getting a huge slab of fresh moist salmon on a full sized tray with salad and moist carrot cake, it was basically a business class meal on other airlines of the time. I certainly rate the A380 very highly for passenger experience.
Für mich die beste Eco auf dem Markt. Das Essen ist ein Traum, ganz zu schweigen vom Entertainment und Sitz. 🙋🏻♂️
Emirates food, I flew from Newark to Athens Greece 777-300er 2018 r/t best service ever and I don’t remember the food being dry as a fart. Maybe you should try Delta/KLM and United on flight to Europe “ your confused “ 😂
Yes, Emirates is one of the most passenger friendly, hospitable airlines. Probably, number one in this category. Also very very clean. Though, I don't think, that I flew ever by the air lines, which are not clean, or unhygienic, but, through some reason, my recollecting impressions from Emirates, as the cleanest one... I wonder why... Probably, because Emirates do pay very careful attention to every detail of the service, including the toiletry... gels, soaps, etc..
I was supposed to fly with Emirates last month, but like lots of people plans had to change. The on flight entertainment seems okay.
If you've flown with Lufthansa airline how would you compare the two? Asking since not sure who to rebook with (both will be economy)
I think emirates chooses which destination where to upgrade their service.... with my experience in business class from Manila- Dubai. They use an old aircraft or the cabin is not updated. Like TV screens are not HD, no amenity kit, no slippers and the food is disappointing. I expected so much with emirates but it is not worth it( the manila- dubai leg) but if you are flying to destinations like singapore, paris, amsterdam... the cabin is new and they have amenity kits.... hope you try it josh to see it for yourself :)
I'm going to london next week
You might had a good experience with Emirates business class but I had a very bad experience with economy class with Emirates from Chicago to Dubai
...It also does seem, that the airline food does depend a lot on the cooking policy of the outbound airport catering. How much to say and influence each airline has in this respect? Quite an interesting matter to research.
Ugh I miss flying already!! Talking about their food, Ive only been on the same route London - DXB - KUL/SIN for a few times and i must say it was exciting at first then it got really boring after that. MAS has better options. I just love having Nasi Lemak in the sky!
Emirates make it food depending on its route . If you are flying from India the it will serve Indian cuisine food . I also travelled on the emirates all’s classes and also in b777 and the a380. I think emirates makes the best food and also gives the best inflight experience.
I always fly Emirates the food depends on the route I fly Manchester Dubai and Dubai Delhi never had an issue with food main courses are nice the sweet dishes are good. I agree with internet but never had an issue with economy always a pleasure on any plane they use :)
Nice vid Josh, sad to see the current state of the airline industry.
@Josh Cahill - I love the time-lapse during take off around 4:40 min mark with the uplifting music. What song is that?
Food on Emirates economy class is a disaster. Personally I always avoid the main course, I eat only the starters (including the salad 👎) and then the piece of dessert. I have sensitive stomach so main course on Emirates class will definitely triggers problems to my stomach.
I guess the chef who is putting the standards worked for long on satwa Indian restaurants or labor camps catering.
I was supposed to do the Kuala Lumpur-Dubai route in the A380 (departing from France with the B777) this summer but I guess this won’t happen now :/
EK food not bad, but some time when you pre-view the dining menu have some cause it show the menu but after flight take off some cause was not provide, dunno why, also the crew may be is come from different country and dunno the some country immigration document need.
Josh - that takeoff clip was not an A380 and probably not Emirates 😀
My thoughts on how Emirates will survive the economy.
I totally agree about Emirates food I travelled business class and it looked nice but tasted average at best
Nice Emirates flight
I flew Emirates from BNE-DBX-BCN last year and the crew was very friendly and engaging. The food I had was delicious, although I pre ordered vegetarian online. Good video ✌🏻
what can we say... Do&Co on TK. But does anyone know if they even utilize them during the pandemic?
Something to cheer up
In my opinion, Emirates economy was as good or better than Qantas premium economy for the US to Australia long haul.
I flew Emirates from Capetown via Dubai to Hamburg last year in Economy class. Both flights were very different. My first flight on the 777 was teribble. The crew was extremly unfriendly. They weren't even welcoming the passengers while Boarding and didn't say goodbye after landing. They were just talking to each other. They didn't smile once during the flight. The service was very slow. I agree with you on the food. It was dry and not enjoyable. I only got one full meal and an discusting sandwich before landing. There were only two drinks services in the entire flight. Thats not enough for a flight which is almost 10 hours long. My connection flight was the complete opposit. The crew was friendly and helpfull. They came around the cabin often. The food was allright on this flight. After the first flight the second one felt like a completely different airline. I experienced Emirates to be very inconcistent.
I ❤food Emirates 🇦🇪
Great video, I really like your honest review
Thanks for sharing this great video. I'm a TH-camr form Sri Lanka. Happy travel to you.
