This thread is the funniest thing I think I’ve ever read on FT. This has got to be a troll imitating a middle eastern oil baby. Who orders sugar with their hot chocolate? Who refuses to do airline transactions over the phone with a CC whose under 80 today? 😂😂

If this is serious, I apologize but there is too much funny material in here.

After a good reading, I feel I have to reply this thread, not for comments but for kind of monument thing to do.

As a PS, even when you go in person, you do realize the person working there sees your credit card number etc, and it could be compromised that way as well.

Yeah, that's how my card got skimmed in Paris. Not sure where, but it must have been a quick (under the counter) scan. Fortunately, my First Class credit card company picked up on it and blocked it before the scammers could do much.

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 ;)

If you keep your CC details on file in your Emirates.com profile, you can tell the phone agent to just the CC on file without giving them the full details.

Please, aceboy44, continue to fly EK every now and then. I know it does not meet your exacting standards.
But your posts bring a lot of mirth on days that I need it! :D You can have some of my hand lotion.

If this is comic relief by imitating people on FT, as well as trying to illicit some of the responses he has it’s working and it’s very funny. I always thought FT was a little too serious and needed some levity.

If this is serious, meh 🤨 aceboy44 is still my favorite FT poster.

They have the best IFE in the airline industry. Can't complain there if I was in economy.......

Never knew that! Thanks for the tip:)

​​​​​​​I don't recall seeing hand lotion in the first class lavatories on the B777 fleet :td:

"Oh well, they lost me as a first class passengers"

Then no more posting here then-I will pop into the QR forum in future to read your experiences ( especially on cakes/hand lotion and hot chocolate)

Perhaps you might be better off flying economy? No expectations means no disappointment.

Open the drawer. Prepare to be surprised!

Of course if opening a drawer is not a First Class experience, you may have a problem....

I expect a flight attendant to open the drawer for me when I pay full price for Fisrt Class.

That's the plan! Oh and my review is finally published (although my name is NOT A Morris ;) )

Emirates Customer Reviews | SKYTRAX ==> first review

I don't like the editorial thing, these are not my genuine words :mad:

There have been several successful lawsuits against posting negative reviews about hotels,restaurants, AirBNB, plastic surgeons, etc. At least in the US. On several of these suits, the negative reviewer has LOST and was subjected to fines of not insignificant amounts.

You need to be VERY careful going forward with your incessant rants and unsubstantiated complaints. You may find yourself extremely fortunate if all you experience is refusal as a customer to either be allowed to fly on your hated airlines, be a guest at your professed horrible hotels, or dine at your awful restaurants-that could be the most risky for you as retaliation could happen quite easily.
Hope you have deep pockets for lawsuits if you choose to visit the USA and continue your snowflake behavior, but maybe just don't bother.

Crew said food was heating. You found them sitting in galley. What do you expect them to do while food is being heated? State at the oven, one FA holding a stop watch, another the plate and the third with oven gloves ready to relay the food to you?

As a customer I have the right to post (or share) my experience with the result of the world regarding a service I actually experienced, and paid for out of my money. My reviews are based on my experiences/opinions and I did not make anything up. What I post about my reviews are real, and if any company challenges to file a law suite against me, I will win and file a law suite back since I didn't make anything up and have every right to post my opinion regarding a service I experienced.

Since when do customers get sued for posting their opinion regarding a product/service they have experienced?
