Emirates are pretty cack, aren't they?
I mean, it's all well and good building a nice, spanking new terminal all for yourself, but when you then park the bloody plane half-an-hour's bus ride away from it, even when there are spare PLBs, you start to look a bit amateurish. At least at Doha airport you know what's in store.
Then there's the bloody high-level security check on people who've just come off a plane...
I'd mention the food, but there wasn't enough of it.
It's good to be back in the Sand Pit.

Re: Emirates are pretty cack, aren't they?
its the staff that get me on emirates, they absolutely believe themselves to be the best things since sliced bread and that dealing with paying customers is beneath them.
without a doubt the rudest flying matresses in the business

Re: Emirates are pretty cack, aren't they?
Can't stand Emirates - they have been shite for years not to mention overpriced.
I prefer Etihad - the staff are much friendlier, the service and food is often better and Abu Dhabi airport still has that smaller and friendlier feel to it.

I'm booked on the return leg DOH-DXB-BHX on 31st July. Dammit. Only good thing will be that I'm going home.

Last week it took my folks 90 minutes from getting off the plane to getting through arrivals.

Re: Emirates are pretty cack, aren't they?
I wonder why there is no IV, or equivalent, at Dubai T3?
