Requesting lunch... in the morning
It's that time of year again!
My summer flight to DXB.
My question here is, I usually travel EK-613 (ISB-DXB) on an empty stomach since I'm not exactly a big fan of the breakfast that's usually served on that route.
The timings (in the summer):
Departure: 09:00 AM (Pak time)
Arrival: 11:10 AM (DXB time)
In the winter:
Departure: 12:55 PM (Pak time)
Arrival: 2:55 PM (DXB time)
They serve lunch in the winter and breakfast in the summer, obviously.
Can I request a lunch meal if I ask before the flight? Like 2-3 days prior?
Or would I have to stuff my face with shake shack upon arrival in DXB?
All replies will be appreciated.

I'm afraid I doubt they will entertain any request like that , I also dispice breakfast on the plane and can't think of anything worse even in first class. It's too short of a flight, I had a friend who flew down to meet me in Cape Town and his daughter( spoilt brat ) wasn't happy with the menu on offer in first so he spent half a day trying to get it changed with no luck .......
Don't forget to check the menu for your flight if your flying this month on Emirates websites , you never know what might be on offer

To be honest if it got to the point in life where my son behaved like that I have badly failed as a parent.

Sadly, EK-613 has a very similar menu every month. Mostly involves eggs, not a big fan. Guess I'll have to stick with the bread basket then. :P
Would that be allowed in J? I thought you weren't allowed to bring your own food along unless you're on one of those airlines where the in-flight food isn't included in the ticket price.
Not a bad idea....

There is no issue with taking your own food along on the flight

That's great, am still contemplating on whether to take food with me or just settle for a croissant.
Meh.. too much effort and persisting will be required, all just for a different meal.
Thanks for the tip.

Cup noodles are all the rage on Asian LCCs these days. For cash obviously
