Your Preferred Newspaper

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

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

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.
