Just had a look at EK 1st class (same on B777 and A380) on youtube - wow, sure looks good. Taking a shower at 36 000 ft is kind of appealing

I have done this many times, I try to get Dubai to Perth upgrade as this is a 11 hour flight and you also get to use the first class lounge in Dubai which is better than the business class lounge. I also prefer the B777 over the A380 as Oztennis says too many passengers. would never use Qantas.

Only flown a short sector once (AKL - SYD) in the EK 380. I thought it was OK, wife couldn't stand it mainly I suspect because of the cabin crew attitude.

So its not just me that stiLl has an aversion to the attitude of many EK cabin staff?
I'd rather fly BA........ and if it wasn't for the QF points i would.

Sounds like the old 747 Classic - not *that* appealing!
