I read PG_ Monkey's initial post twice over, just to make sure I am getting all the data right..
I have to admit - I can relate to a lot of things that are being said by him.. I have had some of the worst experiences on the EK flights, in the Y cabin.. in the J cabin, the staff are a delight.. but the moment you are on the other side of the curtain, you are just cattle class to them..
and I can't believe how some of the so called "flyer talk evangelist" are trashing his post.. this has to be one of the better written reviews of a flight that i have read.. It's factual in nature and with very few personal idiosyncrasies thrown in.. It did not have a "oh they forgot to kiss my show laces - worst.flight.ever award winner" tag with it..
