Thanks, great feedback. I leave DFW just after noon and it is about 14 hours. My onward flight to KUL is around 0330 and is in the 6-7 hour range. Return leaves KUL at 1900 and only 4 hours layover in DXB, 2230-0230. An amenity kit in economy, I knew there was a reason I picked EK. Typically flew AA overseas but I refuse to fly them anywhere now.....
Amenity kits are actually quite common amongst Asian and middle Eastern airlines. US airlines ooeaope in a bubble

Good evening, while managing my upcoming AMS-DXB-MEL I thought I might "Join" Emirates Skywards. It wanted all the same information I had given for managing my flight etc. That wasn't the problem. There seems to be a bug in the "TITLE" field. It won't accept anything I can dream of to put in there: Mr, Mrs, Madam, Sir, Dr, Count, King, Queen ... have I missed something? Meanwhile of course I am unable to complete the sign up process. Any hints anyone?

Also, if you'd like me to refer you, just PM me your title, first name, last name and email address. It might not help you join, but I would get some miles as a referrer.

Hey ft101, thanks for the suggestion, I ended up just joining via the homepage, rather than from within the "Manage my booking" screen. This worked fine, but the website has a few other bugs, so I'll spend as little time there as possible. Sorry didn't send you a referral, but it all happened rather quickly in the end.

I notice that BankDirect offers AAdvantage points for parking your cash there, as well as sign up bonuses for AAdvantage points. Are there any other banks that do this for other points programs?

Hi Emirates Gurus,
Anyone know of a way to get to Emirates Silver status without a status match (or flying the required amount).
Thanks!

I'm flying in Economy along with another passenger who will be flying in Business.
1) Would the flight attendants mind if I go and say hello to the passenger in Business two or three times during the 15hr flight?
2) Can I accompany the business class passenger into the lounge at SFO? Or do they get one or two companions for free?
Thanks.
