Do you realise that Evian backwards is Naive?

For some reason, you decided to visit the nearest EK office and then whinge about parking fees.

The than the complaints about Emirates IT, the rest of your post is just a rant unfortunately.

Again, I will not give my CC details over the phone. How can I pay over the phone if I don't give them my CC details?

They had no right to treat me like this in the first place. Oh well, they lost me as a first class passengers, there are plenty of other airlines out there with better service and cheaper fares ;)

We have read that before from you, yet you continue to fly EK :confused: :confused:

What's the relative cost of a parking ticket compared to a first class fare? About 1/4000?
Plus if you choose not to use the convenience of paying over the phone, you have to accept the consequent costs derived from that! 🙄

I think I'd rather save myself the torture :D

I will be posting a negative first class review on Skytrax.

Three options:

1) Don't fly premium
2) Choose a different airline
3) Get over yourself and consider yourself lucky that you can afford to fly in premium cabins unlike the vast majority of people and be grateful this first world only problem seems to be a major worry for yourself which, for others, would be the total opposite.

Or a combination of the above.

Not sure what 'regular' water actually is. However, I have recently only ever been offered Voss or Perrier in F.

Wish I'd stayed at home last night rather than gone to the reception with free food and booze...

Was it a First Class event?

Better than that - it was a Private VIP one.

That is your personal choice. You really can't expect a company to pay for a taxi due to your refusal to use a phone and provide credit card over it.

I came here looking for a thread if EK F has downgraded due to staffage change and other minor changes and panicked when I saw this thread. :D

Did you get Evian water?

But you will enter them on a website. Ok!

It's been a year since the last Aceboy thread, good to see you back! Any hotel reviews from Singapore? Those were always a laugh as well, I mean other than the part where I feel very sorry for the staff.
