It was a great experience had been wanting to fly emirates to Dubai for long time. Thank you to all the staff.

Older plane that was not as comfortable as newer ones. Video system had problems starting up. Younger, apparently less experienced cabin crew.

everything was great , perhaps lower pricing and more miles incentive and prolong expiration of miles

On the way there the food was not a good Standerd and fly Dubai is very cramped and again the food was not a good Standerd but on the way back food was excellent and staff were very helpful specially a lady which I took time to take her name Maria and another staff which was South African very very polite and helpful i am very sorry that I got her name

Staff were excellent and helpful and the food was lovely.

Boarding is messy, business class no priority line Delay is departure.. hot in cabin

My experience with Emirates was very disappointing, particularly in how the disruption to my journey was handled. My connecting flight in Dubai was cancelled and I was provided overnight accommodation, but I was not advised that leaving the airport could affect duty-free items I had purchased at my original departure airport. When I returned for the rescheduled flight, the alcoholic beverages were confiscated. I was then initially refused boarding for my rescheduled flight, although this was eventually resolved. Onboard, I was allocated a next to a passenger who repeatedly shouted throughout the journey. I asked the senior cabin crew member to move me to vacant seats at the rear but was told they were reserved for crew. The same seats were only offered to me towards the end of the flight, when moving was of little benefit. I appreciate the hotel accommodation provided after the cancellation, but the overall handling, communication and customer service fell well below what I expected from Emirates. What began as a flight cancellation became a series of unnecessary inconveniences, financial loss and an extremely uncomfortable journey.

Good service. I wish there was more legroom. The food could be improved with additional options.

Everything is smooth and good. While cabin crew didn't wake me up for food. When I got up I asked for my meal then they simply replied I was sleep due to that reason they did not wake me up. In that case I suggest they must keep stickers to place on top wake up or DnD.

Friendly staff. My seat was changed at the last minute. Afterwards, my seat was taken by someone else by mistake.
