Last summer I flew to Uganda via Dubai and Ethiopia and had an Emirates plane both times. It was my first long haul flight so needles to say I wasn't looking forward to it. But the space and facilities on-board the plane mad me feel comfortable and at ease. We had the privilege of flying on the new Airbus 380 which is an incredible plane. We flew economy which was basic compared to the business and first class lounges, however with personal TVs on which you could watch an endless supply of good movies and programmes, as well as listen to recent CD's and even telephone people at other seats, we were far from bored or uncomfortable. If that wasn't enough, you could use ...  Read the complete review

Emirates Airline We flew to Dubai and back with Emirates and this is the first time in the last 8 years we have used this airline. The last time we flew we were going to Singapore in about 2003 I think. The airline has a very good service record and certainly when we flew to Singapore and back it was very pleasant. This time we flew from Birmingham to Dubai, a really quite short flight of just over 6 hours leaving at 8.30pm and arriving in Dubai at about 7.00 am their time if I remember correctly. I checked in on line the night before and chose different seats to those we had been allocated. It was a 733 plane with a 3- 4 -3 configuration so I ...  Read the complete review

I've been flying with Emirates for close to seven years now. I first flew with them back in 2002 when I was going to South Korea for the World cup. I was an economy passenger but I was impressed with their customer service. They're check in process was very simplified and each member of staff was very polite and treated me like a princess. The seats in the plane are very comfortable, the food is absolutely amazing (they're over 20 different choices!) the in flight entertainment was also up to date. They also provide comfortable pillows, lovely blankets that don't itch (not Ryanair!!) and the flight crew are so efficient. I was so impressed that I upgraded my ...  Read the complete review

I have flown both long and short haul distances with various companies and never had anything to shout home about, in fact probably some of the worst experiences, especially flying with Thomas Cook on a 13 hour flight to Cuba, not a good experience! Myself and boyfriend recently had a 2 week holiday in Vietnam. We decided to add a stay in Kuala Lumpur on the way there and Singapore on the way back. We booked our flights and tour via The Flight Centre would suggested flying Newcastle - Dubai then Dubai - KL with Emirates and on the way home Singapore - Dubai, Dubai - Newcastle. It was my first time flying with Emirates but I had been told good things so looked ...  Read the complete review

I have travelled with a variety of airlines over the past few years, but Emirates is the only one I WANT to keep coming back to. If I had to sum up the airline in one word, I would say: consistent. I occasionally have to fly from Shanghai, China to Manchester, UK, and Emirates often has the greatest deals for this route. On the other hand it is also one of the longer travel times compared to other airlines because of the connection in Dubai. This comes as a positive and a negative as Dubai's airport is one of the best I've had the pleasure of spending time in. Now that Emirates has its own dedicated terminal it makes connecting flights very simple indeed, ...  Read the complete review
