Cockpit visit on EK

[jobinvk]

Hi,
This is my first post, been a long time reader though.
I have a question about cockpit visits on EK. I will be flying to DXB from JFK on the EK 380 next month :):). I would really love to have a peek into the cockpit and and shake hands with the great men who fly these beauties. What would you suggest is a good way to secure a chance to step foot in the cockpit? Given that this is a flight from the US, are there different policies that govern such visits? Thanks for any response in advance :ok:.

In the US you can visit the flight deck when the plane is on the ground (before push-back). Board early and ask politely; your wish may be granted. (The pilots can deny your request when they are too busy with their pre-flight duties.)

Failing that, you may also have a chance at the end of the flight (with some prior co-ordination during the flight). Of course a lot depends on the individuals involved on the day (i.e. an accommodating Purser and Captain).

Thanks for the quick responses. Keeping my fingers crossed for the chance.
