I'm sure others will get stuck in with the detail of the mileage issue and allegations of false promises etc etc. (personally, I just don't have the motivation/interest for any of that).
But I was extremely concerned by the OP being denied an amenity kit, and I'm not at all sure I myself could have survived the flight without one. Massive kudos & respect to you aceboy for pulling through ^
And on the same topic, credit is also due IMO for perhaps the best line on the EK forum this year .........
"Let me get this straight, I have sacrificed the daylight flight (sacrificed the beautiful scenery outside the window) in exchange for the amenity kit and now you are telling me that amenity kits are unavailable on this flight?"
It is surely reprehensible that such sacrifices should seemingly go unrecognised by Emirates Airline.
