Well I had quite high expectations of Emirates, and these have proven to be just plain wrong. I was looking for something better than Star Gold (1K with United), and I'm afraid that EK doesn't cut it.
An airline that designs its sytems to effectively defraud its passengers is not what I want. Maybe this is standard practice in Arabic countries, but it's not acceptable to me.
So, bye bye EK...
