In the long term, maybe. In the short term, I don't expect it...

Yeah, they pretty much are always more expensive than the competition. I have no clue how they fill their aircraft, especially since they seem to love dumping more and more capacity on the India-BKK market. Probably through consolidators...

He said he would be flying EK and spending 4 hours in a DXB lounge than put up with 9W again. Well, he got his wish
He's willing to choose 10-abreast on a 777 over flying 9W? Wow, it must have been truly terrible...
