In Y _ cannot tell you too much, I used to fly EK in Y when it was really good I have seen a few complaints of late, I think EK got a bit too big for their boots as it was. However, the crew are good, and can be tentative.

You will earn enough miles on the return trip to upgrade on your next flight from BLR-DXB-BLR which is a bonus..

Apparently the LAX and SFO flights are never too busy, so there is always the chance that you can grab a few seats.

Go to the EK website, make a booking on line and say you will collect tickets from the EK offices, it will show you the seat map when you go to book your seat - and then you can make your choice whether to go ahead or not.

IF YOU DECIDE NOT TO GO AHEAD WITH THE BOOKING - BE SURE TO CALL EK AND CANCEL...
The EK website is actually more expensive than the agent here in india. If anything ill book through the agent because its somewhat cheaper and ill quote my skywards number. My other choices are CX and SQ. CX is a bit cheaper but i have to spend a day in HKG which i dont mind (but im wary of this swine flu business). SQ is turning out to be to rich for my blood . Do u recommend taking an aisle seat?
