Flying Experience During Covid
 
Hello,
My wife and will be flying EK in the next 14 days in J (CGK-DXB-IST round trip) and this will be our international flight since Feb-2020 due to Covid.
Anyone can shed some light on what I should expect with the new "in-flight procedure" in EK flight, for instance, should I wear the face mask all the time, including sleeping? How are the meals served? Etc.
Thank you!!

You will be required to a wear a face covering on the airplane at all times, other than when eating or drinking. The airline will have spare masks and hand sanitizer for you as well.

But other than that, the service has pretty much returned to pre-COVID procedures other than than I think they have permanently done away with paper menus in Y (menu available on app or web in flight).

Thanks a lot for the hints, extramileage
Glad to know that the service has returned to pre-Covid condition. Can't wait to show my wife the A380 lounge then :)

Oh yes, the A380 lounge is certainly back to normal.
Two weeks ago on a LGW/DXB flight leaving at 14:30 there was a serious party going on there which seemed to last the entire flight. Today on DXB/LGW (EK15 it was like a nursery: there were quite a few mom's with small kids in J who had settled in there.

Meals are back to normal (I has segments in F as well as J).

Mask wearing is quite seriously enforced and every now and then there is a message on your entertainment screen to 'remind others who may have forgotten to wear their masks'. Masks and sanitiser are handed out on board (but you already have to wear one when boarding). Of course the crew wear their masks all the time (and gloves too, but the 'overalls' have disappeared.
Enjoy!
