We are on EK76 on 2 Feb (CDG - DXB) and EK654 on 3 Feb (DXB - CMB)
returning EK655 (CMB - DXB) 19 Feb and EK71 (DXB - CDG)
We are travelling in Business Class.
Thanks in advance and Happy New Year to everyone!
Business Class, in my opinion, is EK's weakest class-of-service. Certainly, it will be far better than Economy, but compared to EK's rivals, the Business Class seats are not that competitive with the more favorable 1x2x1 configuration that some of EK's rivals already offer.
Would you consider upgrading to First in at least one direction? EK has a solid F product on A380, A340-500, and select 777 aircraft equipped with Suites. However, the F cruiser seats/non-suites aren't worth the premium.
