Emirates cost cuts - bad news for someone here
He doesn't mention the source of his info: http://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2016/12/28/emirates-cost-cutting/
No refresher towels in Y pre departure, increased cost of champagne in Y and no showers on DXB-KWI (
).
What a terrible enhancement for our very discerning friend who flies ex-KWI and pays for these services and expects to get what he paid for.

The comments on that post seem to be more focused on the Y refresher towel. I think that is probably the most tangible "enhancement", though since they went to those prepackaged ones I skip them anyway so I don't really care that much personally.

Agreed. I've never been a fan of either the grey rag or the packaged variety.

Charging for disabled seats
It gets worse. I am disabled and fly five or 6 times a year from LHR to DXB on business. Our agent books the flights which are usually Economy Saver. When I phone to request wheelchair assistance at the airports they have always allocated an aisle seat as a courtesy. No longer - £20 or risk having to sit in the middle which is totally unreasonable for disabled folk!

Is it just me or EK's premium cabin yield problems started right after shower companion pilot program got abruptly cancelled? It was a good program.
On a serious note, I remember ET posting about Towellte enchancement long back, why is this blogger repeating old news

Previous enhancement was from actual towels to pre-packaged disposable towelettes. This enhancement is from pre-packaged disposable towelettes to sweet nothing.
