EK treats this route like two separate legs despite passengers flying all the way to/from MLA/DXB don't change or leave the plane in LCY. I flew DXB-VIE 6h flight in business this month and they had both mattresses and nice amenity Bulgari kit, but nothing in DXB/MLA route. I wonder how EK determine these things. I just flew DXB-WAW 6h flight in business and they had mattresses but no amenity kits...
They determine considering the distance of flight , time of day of flight AND what the competition offers/doesnt offer ! When I've flown this route , the FAs appeared to treat it as rest period ie were not used to working much, and were quite effective at not appearing !
