We’re getting a little off topic, but no offence, Theresa May is not exactly a gem.

With all due respect you can knock Trump all you want, but the fact is America’s economy is at its highest stock market ever. Unemployment is at its lowest. Unemployment among minorities is at it’s all time lowest. He’s gotten North Korea to stop holding the world hostage. You can hate Trump all you want, but actions speak for themselves.

Back on what we’re talking about, I just took a LHR-PHX flight in BA F and could not believe how bad the in-flight service and seats were. The FA’s were really nice, but the food for a 10+ hour flight was so bad. I woke up over northern canada and they had no food to serve and no snacks. I couldn’t believe it. I would’ve rather taken a mainland Chinese carrier in J at a 2x2x2 configuration. Everything was better, specifically I’m talking about Hainan. Yet Brits continue to defend BA like it’s some unique exquisite experience. It’s not and I could never wrap my head around why Brits take criticism of their airline so personal.

That was exactly my point... I'd forgotten British humour doesn't travel well :)

Also, surprising to see BA bashing going on in Emirates forum. BA forum reached its quota of posts so now people using Emirates forum ?

​​​​​​​EK India contact center does this if you call for a booking/change. The agent takes you on the IVR and you have to generate a text OTP/code from your bank. Key that in along with your CC details to complete the transaction. Quite secure in the sense you're not reading your digits out over the phone to the agent.

All

Once again, please stay on topic. A few posts have now been removed or edited due to political references.

If you wish to discuss political issues, figures, etc. then please do so in one of the dedicated OMNI threads.

Please enlighten me, whatever for??? If financial gain could surely be had, please expand. I am starting to see true wisdom is beginning to flow from "Emirates Ambassadors". Wow, how much have I been missing by not posting more?

All I did was make a personal preference statement regarding seat configurations. My oh my. As far as I'm concerned, A380 business class is hard to beat.

First class experiences have been excellent. Hard product is starting to feel a bit dated, but the FAs have always been gracious and attentive to details. Only once I have a defective IFE screen. Was unable to move to a different seat due to a full cabin. Thought about suing over it! However, after a few attempts by the FAs to reset it, I went off to sleep. Imagine that.

Take a chill pill dude, it was obviously sarcasm based on the ridiculousness of OP and this entire thread.

Lol, it’s ridiculousness is the only reason it’s gotten so many views and stayed in the headlines.

If this thread is ridiculous, and people are still following it, then that means people are more ridiculous than the thread itself........ Don't you think so? ;)

The thread is no longer adding any benefit to the forum.

There has has already been a couple of pleas to stay on topic and removal of posts.
