The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

[wannabeinvestmentbanker]

Not the norm but, as posted upthread, I have had Dom on the ground ex-SIN at least once in the last year or so. I'm not that fussed about champagne and actually prefer the Arabic coffee as the PDB!
SIN is great for enforcing priority boarding and definitely worth getting onboard sooner once you are ready.

Me too! I’m often the only one having it with one of each of the dates…alongside a dom as it’s all about the reds post takeoff

I couldn't agree more, apparently there may be a Dom P2 on board 'selected routes' in November Exclusive Champagnes onboard Emirates

Check the "What's on my flight" on EK web site.

Already have but isn't showing anything and I've searched a bunch of different routes, might have to wait close to the date

Slightly off topic...

On the airlines where you get PJ's, I assume they ask your size or is it one size fits all if not what sizes are available?

You can get small, medium or large.

It is also gender based, IME EK male M is about the size as QF L-XL. Based on what my wife has collected EK female S is about the size as QF M-L

I was offered P2 in Sep 22 MEL-DXB and onwards DXB-SEA. On some EK flight you need to ask what is available be it champagne, wines, cognac or other sprits.

Just reading through this thread as I'm flying SIN to Melbourne in a couple of weeks on an F redemption through QF.

Excited to drink my ticket's taxes worth in the first hour of the flight! But, does anyone have experience with these 'special' wines through November, given SIN-MEL is a fifth-freedom route and not a flagship route, will it miss out and 'all we'll get (lol)' is the 'regular (lol)' Dom?

Just flew SIN-MEL on 9 Nov in F and unfortunately its only 2015 Dom Perignon, I was looking forward to the P2 but had to settle haha

Flew this on the weekend and it was a great experience! Made a first YT video on it (mind the poor production quality compared to some full timers!)

Glad you enjoyed and congrats on your first video! It's very good.

Appreciate that you thought there was too much cheese, but have to say that in terms of quantity/variety of cheese and accompaniments, and presentation, that looks like a J cheese plate and not a F cheese board (in my experience).

Fair point, and I don't disagree, also the only fault by the crew just about the entire flight was I wasn't told what was what... my issue for next time, but not enough B Roll to talk over!

This is the DXB F lounge menu, including specials for Ramadan. I’ll post my dining there later.

Looks like the menu hasn't changed since?

I only posted the link so it must have been updated. That said, most of the menu items seem the same.
