Flight departs at 10.00 am so not sure what to expect.
Also, my 10 year old son is coming with me. At the moment I have a child meal booked for him but last time (in businesss class) this was I think the same as an economy kids meal and would have been fine for a 5 year old but not a growing lad of 10. Anyone know if Emirates can do any thing here. A simple adult type meal of meat and vegetables would suit him fine but the published 'special' meals that are available don't seem to allow this. His taste has not yet developed to appreciate the full offerings which I have found to be superb in the past.
Thanks.
EK schedule shows full lunch followed by a light snack.
I would not recommend a child meal - EK still offers them to me, and I am 16! The kids meals are (as you said) the same as economy meals. I would not order a special meal, and if he does not like anything on the menu, just ask for a childs meal - they always have extras on board.
Cheers
