As someone who only flys F internationally and experienced EK, EY (RIP Apartments), QF, BA, TG and AA F I still get excited by EK.

Crews vary, they are human and we all have bad days, but I have never had a bad crew on EK.

If this blogger thinks BA F crew are superior than he’s obviously never flown with Mixed Fleet who are uninspired by their 2.80GBP/hour rate and who you can watch eating in the galley as you are escorted to your seat.

I don’t know EK’s procedures, but imagine a full fare F pax on the manifest is to be provided superior service than a double upgrader and disturbing the cabin by recording other pax and speaking into his mic. I imagine this was a hindrance to the crew as well.

FWIW, I have found the food on EK to have lowered in quality, but that is my only criticism.
