Also worth mentioning that EK J meal service is not trolley based. Orders are taken via electronic handset and the orders are taken at the same time in a staggered way, with 4 crew taking orders and 2 crew preparing drinks, the other 2 getting food started. It is a well oiled machine and I have never had a bad A388 service in J. (Although I've had some crew who were frosty and could not be bothered being there).
In 8 years of flying J, I've never had my meal choice denied on an A388.
