Changes to F?
 
Its been a few years since flying long-haul F (I.e. USA to DXB and DXB to SYD). I have a few flights coming up on EK on these routes. Has anything changed for either the hard or soft product in the last few years besides new pajamas? Either way, hoping the new F is a huge improvement.

On newer A380 (or revamped ones), the screen is bigger.
And indeed, new PJ, new amenity kits, new slippers, new shower gels, different snack basket, new headsets, new bag.
Can't say much have changed. It's basically the same.

Out of genuine interest ..... just wondering what sort of changes you would like to see ..... ?

It sounds as though you were less than happy with your previous experience of the EK F product ...... ??

No, not less than happy. I actually have really enjoyed flying EK F. I just feel like it needs a refresh and is basically the same product they've had for a decade. I'm a loyal EK guy!

There have also been reports of a lack of hand lotion.

I seem to remember hearing something about no more personal super size birthday cakes also.:)

Again? This was reintroduced.

Product is solid - the changes to the 777 will eventually come on the 380 but that's going to take a lot of time.

Depending on your last flights, there may have been two increments in screen size. From A6-EEF the screen size increased to 27", and from A6-EOQ to 32". EEF also saw the introduction of the tablet style controller. Controls and sockets were also repositioned to be easier to use.

New toiletries (in all classes I think).

Hennessy Paradis was available last month.
