Agreed. When an airline does not provide the "benefits" you expect, then as the customer, you have the right to fly with whatever carrier you want.
EK is not the only carrier in the GCC - no matter what they think.
Lots of options, and I now fly with the
other options. For the next few months I will be flying QR, QF, UL, MH and TG.... All different, and all with convenient flight times AND good prices. Mind you, flying Business class with FF status helps too. ^
I have no status with EK and have only flown Economy with them.
