I do light the "lamp" on the desk/table of the EK suite - it's a nice touch and an elegant piece of design.

Other trip reports have far better photos than I'm able to take.

I've flown EK quite a bit and, for better or worse, EK3801 was a pretty typical EK service; I was disappointed as I expect a bit more "special" for a first flight but, even at regular standards, it was a good flight and I will continue to fly EK regularly.

Now if only someone would take the SQA380 with it's economy, business and first class seats and install the showers and the bar/lounge area from EK - then you'd have a perfect long-haul aircraft!
Thanks for the TR ^ the more the better .. different pictures are fine so if you do get around to uploading them please post the link

I agree .. Real disappointing to see nothing special for the EK A380 flight

Bummer .. i thought with the EK Suites it would A380>B777ER>A340 but looks like it's A380=B77ER>A340 ?

That's exactly what i was thinking too @:-) if SQ had showers it would have it all ^ i dont really think i would spend time at the bar though, i mean it's a nice idea, but i think that space could've been better used with making the seats/suites bigger !
