I say again....
.... stay away!!! EK will kill you health.
I have read something about that you will see the world, hahahaha. Flying 14 hours from DXB to IAH, departing 3 am in the morning, then 24 hrs rest on the paper which does not include passing immigration and transport to the hotel and a pickup about 2,5 hrs before departure time. You might be lucky to get proper rest for your return flight.
Flying to China: 2 men over Himalaya, departures early in the morning, 8+ hrs through the night back to Dubai.
You will see the world, yes, in !!!!ty hotels close to the airport or far away from the city center, except JFK.
First of all pass the assessment and then you can think about joining. Sign a 5 year bond, another 2 year bond for your upgrade. Upgrade 7+ years, which is still reasonable for a big carrier.
Have seen it, luckily left early enough and enjoy my normal life back in Europe!!!
