On the odd occassion that I need to go to Dubai or India (via Dubai), I am delighted to fly Emirates - for reasons of having a change I even choose them over BA.

Their Economy, Business and First Class products are supurb (although in First I find it hard to treat the cabin crews seriously in their national dress!).

Business Class has go to have one of the most comfortable seats going and they were way ahead of their competitors having on-board 'phones and faxes several years ago. I still enjoy watching the take-off/landing through the 'outside' camera.

'Limo' pick-up at both ends is also appreciated for both Business and First Class.

Generally a supurb airline with excellent service. My only complaint is that the ground-handling often lets them down - both in their home airport and overseas.
