The EK Peanut Gallery Thread

Ok, I stole this idea from another airline forum. We will attempt to give it a shot here on EK, to mix things up a little.

This thread is intended as a fun, more or less free-fire zone within this forum. Posts will not be edited here. If they go too far they will be deleted without notice, but otherwise they stay. Fair enough?

Readers who enjoy food fights can have a ton of fun. Readers who prefer to be serious all the time can safely ignore this thread and miss out. It's your choice.

And yes, all topics EK related are allowed. Even conspiracy theories about the ME3 subsidies

Will I definitely get an amenity kit .......???

(No way could I survive a long-haul flight without a folding clothes-brush....)

Oh, and m3red ...... you should already know the answer to your first question, which is three whole days of course ...... you remember the thread surely ...

In a world without subsidies, how much money would Emirates be losing every year?

As a loyal blue member for 10 years, why won't Emirates give me an upgrade at check-in? The Golds and Platinums probably have enough miles to spend on upgrades anyway so EK may as well just give op-up pritority to me!

Drop it dude

On a recent flight I observed one youngish guy in J desperately trying to get the number of one of the flight attendants. I mean, sure, there's a wall of guys (esp to/from the UK) flirting with the FA tending the A380 bar on any given flight, but this guy was super insistent.

She was suuuper polite about it but he just wouldn't stop. Eventually she just had to walk away.

Seriously dude?

We were embarrassed just witnessing it.

They would be gaining much more money as those artificially hold-on-life entities like LH, AF, all the Chapter11 US-carriers etc. would not exist anymore ^

You can do a complaint, you are an iO member an did not receive an amenity kit on a day time flight.

I see how important that kit is to some people, more than CD service or lounge or even the business/first seat
