As I needed to urgently change my flight to an earlier flight I accepted this bitter consequence and changed my late evening DXB - KWI flight to an early 7:40 AM flight from DXB - KWI (yes! Emirates ruined my layover in Dubai) just to get an earlier flight for SIN - DXB. I was also not able to pick my seats for both of my flights.....despite this being a Flex Plus fare!!! I was disappointed with my seats during check-in..... I was told that new bookings are treated different than existing bookings!!!!

Thank you for ruining my experience Emirates but rest assured that this will be my last time paying a Flex Plus fare........ Happy to buy saver fares for my future trips (no more revenues from me for Flex Plus fare ) Oh and did I mention that I was also a Skywards+ member? (Yes I expect special treatment for the money I pour into a business. Why else would I pay money if I wont get something in return?)

Now putting that aside I had great experiences with Emirates (as usual) and will happily continue to fly them .
