0.33L of Evian water for a 7+ hours flight is not enough. Either they stock larger bottles of water, serve Evian water as standards (similar to QR flights,) of reduce their fares.

This thread REEKS of self-entitlement and overdemanding demeanor. It's absolutely sensational that such small things cause such outrage in people, what is this world coming to?
When I pay a premium to fly first class, then I expect a first class/VIP treatment. Telling me to visit the nearest EK office to change my flight (making me feel like I booked via a cheap airline with poor IT) for the price I paid is utterly unacceptable. I will be posting a negative first class review on Skytrax.

Either way, you've clearly stated before that you dislike EK, would never fly them again and were taking your business to QR. You're now reiterating the fact you prefer QR, so why exactly are you starting this thread, or flying EK at all? "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice..."
I have booked a full-revenue first class (no cash/mile upgrades) ticket out of my own money, and for the price I paid I expected to be treated like celebrities. I could have paid half the price and flown with QR business and had better service than Emirates first class!

Oh and the reason I flown EK first (as opposed to QR J) was the private suite with 3 windows all for myself in addition to the fantastic ICE system. I get bored on QR flights but on EK overall I find my experience enjoyable (assuming I get what I paid for.)

Oh and did I mention that in Singapore J and F passengers get the same chauffeur-drive car? I was disappointed to see an Mercedes E-class (as opposed to an S-class) as a first class passenger driving me to the hotel.

To conclude, overall I enjoy my flights with EK, but I don't feel like I'm getting what I paid for (based on the price they charge for first class.)
