Well having pontificated about Emirates (EK), and how good Royal Brunei (RBA) is. I flew EK on a A380, because that is all that my father in law will fly with (he is gold, looking at Plat). I booked Mel to Istanbul, in Economy, thinking that I would use my points. No problem Dubai to Istanbul, getting the upgrade. But Mel to Dubai no go over the phone or web. So come the day and come the hour, I asked at the counter, no problem, one seat left in Business. Lounge was brilliant, service was great, but full, not a seat to be had. Once on board and seated the plane was delayed 15 minutes, then 1/2 an hour, then 3/4 hours. Then there was a message over the tannoy, there was technical problems. At this very moment up come the cabin manager to me. Kneeling next to me he explains, that one of the 1st class passenger IVOD isn't working, and regrettably I am going to have to go to Economy (after what I had said on AFF, about EK, this was sweet justice). OK no problem, so off he went, and after some minutes the assistant cabin manager returned, to collect me and take me down to economy. I was not angry, but turned on the disappointed child look, polite, but not happy Jan.
Now down in economy, there was no room for my backpack or sports jacket (A very expensive one too),I was served Champagne, given the J menu, and all before the plane took off. The look on the economy passengers was priceless (who is the person, and is he the reason we are late leaving). The very soon after takeoff, along comes Marita, who introduces herself to me as MY flight Attendant (I'm 58, beautiful women , don't have to do much to have me melting). Long black hair that was like silk, a lovely smile, and the most wonderful accent. If I can do anything for you just tell me (her words). By now I am the centre of attention in the area around me, and Marita returns, would I like to sleep in the jump seats. Yes, thank you, the seat have been made in to a bed. Complete with mattress, dounna, and full size pillow. Soon I was fast a sleep and after 3 hours I was woken, by Marita. Now to wake up to this vision of beauty, and loveliness, was truly ike a dream. The first class passenger had returned to his first class seat, and the business class seat was emtry, would I like to go back to business class. My reply was, yes please, and thank you. Once up the backstairs, I never made it past the bar, scotch and coke was the order of the Day or was it Night, or morning, well it was scotch and coke, after scotch and coke. Everything after this was an anticlimax.
Now the questions are:
The answer is
