2. Only 1 round of drinks. Never asked for a second until the main meal service had started.
3. Never even asked for coffee etc. after the dessert.
4. Later had two cups of coffee during the flight - literally cold.
I respect your posts a lot and wouldn't disagree with you but I've never had these issues with EK service in J with drinks I ask them for my 2 or3 when they come round and they oblige... Always offered coffee, espresso, piping hot....
EK is a bad airline in many ways in terms of product inconsistency,no flatbeds in J, nothing to offer J travelling golds, crap lounge etc but I've always found the J service to be excellent and consistent. My two A380 trips, I've fed and watrered at the bar and then slept which suited me just fine so there I wouldn't know but my mainstay ---the 777 ULHs ---have always been superb
