Flew SYD CHC SYD last week on EK in Y.

The outbound flight was not very full, the crew were very switched on, offered me the choice of moving before the flight left to a empty row which I did.

When they came around to collect the headsets, I asked if I had to hand it back in so early, no you can listen for as long as you want Sir was the response I got.

The return flight only had a few spare seats on Y, and when they collected the headsets I just avoided the eye contact, the FA passed by and I then noticed a few other people who looked like frequent flyers still had theirs on.

Nice to be able to watch a movie or TV or listen to music until the aircraft is at the gate.
