Hello everybody,

My only experience with EK was FRA-DXB-BKK (y-class) in 1990. They were using A310 / A300 at this time and I remember the trip as pretty good.

Too bad personal demands have increased a bit in the meantime: I can feel another long hawl coming up and I'm willing to spend money on DUS-DXB-AKL (EK 058/EK 406) and CHC-DXB-DUS (EK 055/EK 413) in Business. Watching the Emirates-pages and reading this forum gives me the idea, that the money will be well spent.

So here are my questions:

1) Since one of my priorities is a good view out of the window, esp. during climb and approach (upright seat-position) I wonder which seats would serve this purpose best on 332 and 345 (C or J-class). I would hate to get stuck between two windows and ruin my cervical vertebrae...

2) Why does seatexpert.com rate 9a and 9k on both A332 (three classes) and A345 as "beware"?

3) I couldn't find any information on how many Skywardmiles I'd have to spend on upgrades in future-trips. Neither the Emirates- nor the Skywardspages seeme to provide the information. I can remember coming across a pdf with all the information I ask for, but can't find it anymore. Can anybody give me the link?

Thanx in advance,

Peter
