Just checked that my flight to DXB will go on time and the inbound flight to Manchester is running around 4 hours late. I will therefore miss my connection to Karachi tomorrow morning.

As I have people meeting me at the door of the plane, I thought I had better find out which flight I am likely to be on, so phoned EK to ask, and was told it was too early to say. Fair one, BUT when asked if they had a timetable so that I could look at the options, I was told no, EK costomer service do not have a timetable, and to look online.

Unbeleivable way to treat your first class passengers, and Skywards gold members. "Look it up yourself".

Charming !
