On this little year long adventure of mine, I’ve flown Emirates airlines twice and loved every second. . . as much as one can really enjoy air travel. For some reason Julia and I found Emirates to have the cheapest flights both from Australia to Asia and again from Asia to Europe. We met people who told us that because Emirates is based out of Dubai they have access to loads of cheap oil (fuel) and can therefore still make a profit off prices lower than their competitors.
Either way, this airline is just the best. Warm hand towels on arrival, great food (yes, really,) all the free alcohol your little heart and altitude suppressed body desires (yes! really!), and tons of in-flight entertainment. Plus neither flight was crowded so we were able to really stretch out. I’ve said it once but it bears repeating, I’ll take a 7-10 international flight over a 4-6 hour domestic one any day.
Emirates, you do it right. If you ever need someone to review/blog about your business or 1st class flight amenities please let me know. My schedule is wide open!
