If you look at flying from west coast to JNB for example the time "in air" is close except flying on EK for example is a hell of a lot more pleasant than DL 767 or the "new" american in generic AB's where only UA has a worse ghetto bird in the air. Plus laying over in Dubai for example is not bad whether you chose the airport hotel, their lounge or as we did last year stayed at the Hyatt and hired a driver to "show us the town" in 6 hours or less!
So yes for the most part. Now when we go to Paris this fall it's AF metal and from VCE back EK.
