Your Preferred Newspaper
 
Does this option in your Skywards profile actually make any difference? Anyone ever experienced receiving their selected newspaper?

Only when I ask for it once aboard!

newspaper? They can't even deliver luggage without major losses and delays, I can't imagine getting a newspaper of choice. The program is all hype, no substance

For gods sake, let it drop. You've had a bad experience, get over it. You'll learn someday that Emirates are just like any other airline. Thank god you didn't get caught up in the BA baggage/strike/catering fiascos, I think you'd have died from heart failure by now :)

Cheers,
Rick

Not sure about the newspaper choice, but on my last flight the FA asked if I'd like a beer, as that was my drinks choice on my Skywards profile :D

Cheers,

NO, I have had three weeks of bad experiences...not one. The cost of this Emirates hopelessness is in the order of $10,000( a muti-sector trip for which the airfare alone was $15,000 and half had to be chnaged....money just gone because of their incompetence. And not a single word of apology from them. I certainly won't be dropping it.

I'm usually pretty good at dealing with irregularities in travel but even I almost died from heart failure during the BA fiasco. :p
