...is it? is it really...? I mean it's a slightly quieter aircraft, but general opinion (and my own) holds that in Y, it's really much of a muchness on a EK 773/380.. i.e. sardines.

As an aside, are you enjoying SEZ? Myself and Mrs Englishoaks are doing the same routing in a few weeks, but starting/ending at LGW on EK, as we connect to JER (no LHR flights).
