I had my heart set on the EK suite, but its time to come back to reality I guess. Or may be time to start building up my UA miles again.
The EK J seat is really cool, I was on it twice IAH-DXB and then again DXB-DEL just this week, and it is awesome. The seat is really comfy, good massage feature, and the AVOD is second to none, IMHO. The drawbacks are that the seat is a bit tight in the shoulders (I'm 6'2" and was crowded...they do 2x3x2 in a 777 in J
), the food is just okay, and the seat just isn't deep in the thigh catagory -- my hamstrings were supporting the tray table every time I ate, and they do not serve booze during boarding...only champagne. BOOO!
That being said, it was a good experience overall and the J lounge at DXB is truely a sight to behold! ^
Going to try VS UC DEL-LHR-EWR here in a few, so I'll post my thoughts on that combo when I return. Happy Travels!
