Please Note: This is not a BA bashing thread (but it may sound like one )

So, I've not been on an Emirates aircraft for just over three months now due to relocation with my job and I've got to say, I'm missing the bling. Due to location (I thought about requesting the routing), it would be too time consuming and over budget for my employer, so am now back to BA for the time being .

Dont get me wrong, the BA lounge in GLA is pleasant enough, but I miss the nice lunch in the EK lounge and the BA lounge has nothing to compare. Added to that, BA's BOB catering offerings on shorthaul and the dreaded connection in LHR.

And with that dreaded connection, lack of smoking areas airside At least I had something to look forward to in DXB . The one good thing about connecting in LHR T5 from a domestic flight is that I don't have to re-clear security, but then I have to give up the chance of a cheeky ciggie. Choices, choices

The other thing I'll miss is the chance to have a proper airline meal (I know, but I don't mind them) on board with BA's "superior (not)" catering on their DME flights- usually a cheese roll!! The choice in the lounge won't be much better due to time of day and connecting time.

Anyways, I miss you EK. I haven't forgotten you. I hope to be back onboard soon.

Anyone else feel the same if they have an absence of EK flights?

Safe & Happy Travels
