Expat2B Posted December 8, 2003 Share Posted December 8, 2003 It is a constant sourse of amazement to me how well Emirates seem to do in these surveys. I have had to fly with Emirates several times in First & Business Class and have to say they are not a patch on BA or many other airlines in either of these classes. Who actually completes these surveys and on what basis are they judging? I would hate to sample the comparator airlines, which respondents are judging to be infeiror to Emriates. Emirates in brief has:- A tired seating product Uninspriring catering Poor seat pitch Poorest IFE I have ever experienced Poor baggage handling Very poor cabin attendants As you can guess I am not a fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valentinoxxx Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Flew with Cathay Pacific (in economy)yesterday. Poor seat pitch. Risable food quality(Had to send two meals back) In flight service was middling. Ran out of meals, juice... Forgot requests and had to be reminded. IFE system failed completely(They have just introduced Movie on Demand and had no idea how to service the system). Not impressed so far. Best for long haul in economy, IMO: Malaysia and Singapore Airlines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonthaya Posted March 24, 2004 Share Posted March 24, 2004 Having been an Airline pilot all my life, and have been travelling all over the world, I still find the most pleasant flights has been with Thai Airways. It's a safe airline with a good service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
