Poor service on Emirates is not the cause of their problems it is a symptom.

They started off so well but seem to be resting on their laurels now. I must admit i didn't have very good flights with them last year. I had to go back from Hong Kong to Glasgow twice in August and was very uncomfortable in the hard, upright seats and poor food. I am over 6' tall and had real issues about the people in front of me putting their seats all the way back.
There was also a big difference in the HKG-DXB sector over the DXB-GLA sector as well- to/from Glasgow was more like a charter flight off eedjits going to Ibiza.

I would like to continue flying them as they sponsor an America's cup yacht.

Flying BA direct from HKG to UK this year- wills ee what that's like. When Virgin started flying direct to Hong Kong it certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons and, as a result, other airlines are better priced and better serviced.

Virgin to Hong Kong is good, BA to Hong Kong is great but only if you're in club.

Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong is the way to go.
