I am sure that many posters use Emirates to get here in Thailand and also to visit other parts of the world.

 

In April-May 2019 they have scheduled runway upgrading at Dubai and as a result a large number of flight reductions will be in effect.

Damn, i was hoping for price reductions, not flight reductions. This will only get planes fuller and prices going up.

After they blackmailed my wife for 10000 baht flying CNX BKK DUB for excess ALREADY CHECKED-IN baggage I would rather fly Aeroflot

That's the wonder of dynamic pricing.

I asked Emirates online why it was nearly twice the price to fly from Bangkok to Newcastle via Dubai, same planes etc than from Newcastle to BangkokThe initial reply was tax.  I replied BA and KLM I assume pay the same taxes but their flights are nearly half the price of Emirates. After a series of other excuses the rep said contact the office.

I like Emirates and always use them when travelling from the UK but next year I am taking the family and have priced the flights from Bangkok. Emirates are by far the most expensive. BA and KLM are the cheapest but I have flown with both of them, not the best airlines in the world plus I and my lady don’t like 12/13 hour flights on a tube.

i will bite the bullet and use Emirates as the flight times are more convenient albeit more expensive.

where I fly to in northern Europe I routinely find that Emirates (and Thai) is extremely expensive

Qatar and Finnair the winners price wise
