McDonald's and First Class
Presently on EK770 to Cape Town.
On boarding I walked through first class and saw a passenger eating a Big Mac meal. Our departure gate B27 was close to the restaurant. I assume the passenger had bought the meal and it wasn't an effort by Emirates to cut first class catering costs. |

Some people choose to bring their own food - and even pair it with the DP and other drinks offered. And why not. |

Aside from the cheese and the wine the food is pretty bad on EK

I can't even count the number of times I've been on a US domestic light where the guy next to brings a huge smelly slice of Sbarro pizza on board.

The F lounge burger is definitely better than McDonalds!

This was probably a FTer.
The regulars here know that Dom pairs well with a remarkably large portion of the McDonalds menu. |
As seen in this TR https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/emir...ip-report.html and other posts on FT.
https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...feddc8aad8.jpg Also on the BA board (of course) https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/brit...rst-class.html Why does it bother you? |
For sure I can say that lukewarm McNuggets pair well with Caviar, much better than EK's blins anyways! :D
|
I think I'll pass on the fish eggs and chicken mystery meat combo. Now please pass me the champagne.

Tell that to the American airlines, namely United who served me a "cheeseburger" that McDonalds could beat any day of the week!

I would have thought that comparing the EK F Lounge food with the UA on-board offerings is a bit pointless.... ;) Surprised about the outcome I'm not!
