I saw that email too. Things are expected to return to normal by July. Let's see how that goes.... they can quit the HVC speech altogether if it were me, hearing that every 4-5 days is (was) getting very tiring. Never understood why people cannot make their bed themselves either.

Never thought I would share my bedroom secrets on FT, but then after that (indeed tongue in cheek) remark, I had that coming. And by the way, I shared that post with mrs t moments after I clicked 'submit reply.....

I hope that CD does not die....it is indeed one of the great things about EK, especially with the unlimited mileage for UAE (I often head to Abu Dhabi). The permanent loss of it would encourage me to shop around on my next flight, as I am sure it would for many, especially J regulars.

I thought chauffeur drive was a great perk, even though it’s factored into pricing and you are still paying for it essentially, it still felt good to have it. Like haas been previously said I think nowadays they need to have something to differentiate themselves from the rest, who have all caught up and in someways surpassed Eks offering.
did STC not mention a while back, that they were going to put another updated Bar on the newest 380’s? Did anyone ever see pictures of this? Probably won’t happen now, unless they have already been made. And what’s everyone’s best guess at when the onboard bar will be back open? October/November time?
