Not like EK at all - their planes are normally reliable
The inbound flight seemed fine.
Looks intriguing
A6-EKY did depart yesterday (04/10/05) on or before 10:00am as EK008D.
I think the postfix “D” may denote delayed, my experience of delayed flights normally starts with your fight is delayed 2 hours, and then the delay gets longer and longer, and longer and so on.
I have had two experiences of delays with Emirates:
I think they always do things more efficiently in DXB, that’s were I have always been upgraded, appears selection is done by computer at DXB as opposed to who can make the biggest noise at check in like in other places.
