New boarding music
On EK529 just walked on and they were playing some "Come fly with me" song. Asked the FA and she confirmed it's new boarding music. Now some generic hold music piano thing playing.
A bit sad if they don't play the EK songs at all (will wait to deplane in DXB to see if they play it then) as it always evokes a bit of an excitement for travel in me.
Now playing: Don't worry about a thing. Maybe a response to EK521 for flights from India? Subliminal messaging?

"Come fly with me" reminds me of transatlantic flights in 707, and the first time I arrive in PAA worldport dressed in blazer and flanel pants (as we were all dressed at that time).
Trying to steal the best years of US carriers. Clever move indeed.

Not with EK, but several years ago I had two aborted landing attempts at MAN before being diverted to GLA (weather related). On our eventual return to MAN, the background music was Night Swimming (REM) and I Believe I Can Fly (R. Kelly).
Neither filled us with confidence.

I like the the boarding music that they have played up until recently. You only really hear it when you're on the plane and gives me that feeling of something exciting, flying, travelling and ultimately, taking me home . It has a feel good theme.
Please keep the original style

Heard several ones today:
- Free as a bird by Beatles
- I'm like a bird by Nelly Furtado
- Everybody wants to rule the world by Tears For Fears
- I believe I can fly by R Kelly
and a classic one!
Disliked R Kelly screaming he could fly after my long night flight...
