But what was really behind this status I was definitely not aware.
I would never had expected before, that travelling with Emirates could be such an easy thing.
No queues,no check-in, no closed doors, no waiting at any stage (except in the lounge, of course),First-on-board boarding and my absolute favourite: Limousine pick-up from the plane when parked at a remote-bay.
My final resumee to anybody who says no need to become an IO: it's worth it!
I still don't understand all the fuss about the I/O's.
You are being transferred by a limousine from the aircraft to the terminal? Well, did you know that you get the precise same treatment when you fly Lufthansa and Garuda Indonesia first class? I believe you also get the same treatment with Oman Air first class experience, so being transferred in a private limousine to the terminal is nothing to brag about (unless of course that limousine was a Rolls Royce
)

You can always book the "Meet & Greet" service upon arrival at many airports for a small fee and enjoy the service. Once again, this is nothing special to brag about being an I/O's.
It seems that the treatment of an I/O is not as wow as I was expecting.....
