First time I travelled with Emirates ( trip to Thailand) was quite impressed... wow how things change ... booked 4 months in advance for another trip . Not even sat with my girlfriend on flight ... hand luggage taken from my partner just before we got on the plane .. no explanation. Could have had medication , money . Passport .. not even asked ... plane delay so we had to run for the following flight ... no time for a toilet break or drink .... Emirates the money you pay you deserve a lot better ... p,s when you check in .. get some staff 2 hrs queuing is disgusting...
