A recent trip to the U.K. a few weeks ago; on the outbound flight Bangkok-Dubai I travelled on Flight Number EK373 only operational Thursdays and Saturdays.

There was a total number of 78 persons on the flight, a 777 with ICE entertainment system. After boarding I switched to the roomy front seats and stretched my legs, other passengers with full approval of the F.A.'s moved to rows of seats and lay down and slept. Service was perfect because of few pasengers and staff were in high spirits because of little workload for 7 hours.

I understand from the F.A.'s that this 'empty' flight EK373 is the norm, except in extreme peak season, so if you are an Emirates user, it is worth knowing. I shall always opt for this flight in future.

fot that same reason I use to fly last year CDG - Bangkok with Air France

was the same for me last year, possibly because of increase in number of flights to UK etc (Qatar, EVA)
