Madrid (Spain) to Singapore via Dubai and back from HongKong.
Is this a Business class, really
or just a joke? Fare is not, unfortunately...
I fly for business as well as for holidays, 2 to 3 times a year, to Asia, usually on Qatar but due to bad connection timing in Doha I choose to experience Emirates, big mistake.
Plane to Dubai and then to Singapore configuration was 2-3-2, giving you the impression of being in Coach, seats dont fully recline and dont even have the overall wrap that protects you from child kicking behind.
Lunch is served on a tray! besides being really untasteful and plain, my advise is to keep on drinking champagne (nice Bollinger) to forget all these miseries and the money you paid.
Worst to come on the way back from HK on the new Airbus... main cabin is designed with cattle on mind, all those awful partitions are not made for claustrophobic pax, and I wonder too what will happen in the event of an emergency exit. Seats do fully recline but under the seat in front of you, thus looking like you,re already on your coffin, and you,re given the same tray with the same bland food.
I advise going to the bar and keep on the Bollinger (be aware nobody but the nice stewards enjoy it)...
On second thoughts, let,s you find a different airline.
