Maybe you could investigate VA Velocity (or delta) - transpac business reward seats are veritably prolific when compared with oneworld based options.
(but "insane" is as "insane" does - for a variety of reasons (including points/miles availability) I'm currently on a MEL-AKL-SYD-LAX-NRT [Business Class] journey..) (the fact that UA does not have F class to MEL does not help either.) |

In fairness, going MEL-DXB-LAX is pretty insane. It's nearly 16000 miles vs 7900 miles for MEL-SYD-LAX.

The paper from the US3 hasn't been answered yet by EK or the other 2 airlines. Surely if they took 2 years to compile the paper you can give a few weeks for an answer.

I've done BNE-SYD-LAX-ATL-DXB. It was insane. However I'd booked the Australian flight first and then had to go on to Dubai. 5 hour transit in LAX gave me time for a shower in the lounge :)

It's unbelievable this thread goes on and on like the Duracell bunny ...
Years back :) , OP said on this thread that he wouldn't rely on an airline that uses multinational multicultural cheaply trained staff jeopardizing safety. Well, figures show that Emirates is one of the safest in the world. http://www.jacdec.de/airline-safety-ranking-2015/ Just look at where legacy carriers are ... Another ranking, though commercially oriented and not purely about safety : http://www.edreams.com/best-airlines/ Sorry to jump in. I frankly didn't have the courage to read the recent posts. |

Saying you're not going to fly Emirates for "safety" reasons is as illogical as saying that Emirates is in any detectable way "more safe" than BA, or UA, or DL, or JL, etc.

I would appreciate it if you could show your facts again. I know you have made some statements about how Emirates have performed on certain routes but I am unaware of facts. The paper from the US3 hasn't been answered yet by EK or the other 2 airlines. Surely if they took 2 years to compile the paper you can give a few weeks for an answer.
You do not have to convince me, I quoted eye-witnesses who worked for the NE3, I quoted industry experts and consultants who came up with strategies for EK and the NE3, I posted numerous examples how EK copied industry-leading strategies from other airlines and airports...aside from a 70-80 page document by industry-insiders on behalf of the US3. I really appreciate the motivation of some of the apologists in this thread, but again believing in the 1000 and 1 A310 story is like believing in the Easter bunny. I do not want to make fun of you, but again, founding an Airline with $10 million does not really work. And again, if the NE3 business model would be so successful, I really wonder why nobody copied it yet. :p The A380 is on sale since years now... :D |

And what is wrong with copying strategies? If they've copied strategies from multiple airlines to come up with a winning formula, then good on them! |
This thread, can't believe its still going! :confused:
