Flew MAN - DXB this week, with a 7 hour layover to Singapore. As per my Skywards prefernces I wanted a window seat, but none were available, but I asked anyway, and was waitlisted.

At boarding control 3F was scribbled on my boarding card. whahey, a window seat (maybe?).

No, an aisle seat, but in F, not J. Not to worry, except for 2 things. I was so tired after sitting in the lounge in DXB that I fell immediately asleep (the main idea), bt whn I did wake up it was a non ICE equipped plane. Having been spoiled on all of the EK flights I have been on in the last 3 year, with ICE, I was VERY dissapointed with the non ICE equipment.

Still, the champagne was nicer, seved in proper flutes !!
