I would like to see EK outstations in the Middle East run check-in and boarding better, especially run F and J correctly. Quite often there is no control over boarding; a mad rush by all once boarding is called. In DOH last time they simply did not offer F/J check-in; where boarding is always by bus, F is frequently left standing in a small room while J and Y are herded onto busses. F then only gets on the plane at the last minute, and the poor crew are rushed doing the on-the-ground F service.

I would also like to see the meal-by-tray service removed from medium-haul F and long-haul J. I despise it beyond measure.
