Inflight wifi - Check [380Flyer: Too expensive and I can live without it]
Great food - Check [380Flyer: Some meals I've had on EK have been average]
Nice Bar/ Lounge on board for being social - Check [380Flyer: Waste of space and very little customers use it]
Awesome IFE - Check [380Flyer: Hate the navigation to the ICE IFE system]
Spacious and plentiful Restrooms - Check [380Flyer: On J class, you have to go right to the back near the galley - bad location]
Silent Plane Operation - Check [380Flyer: Galley location at rear means service delivery takes longer and inattentive for those seated in the front rows]
Attentive and attractive flight attendants - Check [380Flyer: Not at all, I've come across some cold and unattractive Russian FA - I prefer Asian FA anyway over cold Russian FA on EK]
With the seat, it's narrow - agreed, but if you get one by the window you have SO MUCH storage with the under window bins that remind me of the bins that were common in J class upper deck 747 product.
380Flyer: I prefer CX and SQ for my travels. EK is all hype and not to forget to mention the lousy lounge product at DXB and outer stations - unappealing at best.
