Don't want to get too far of the MAN thread, but I posted my story to highlight why EK are on such a winner from the regions.
At LHR, Yes re-screened on entering T3 Airside from coach transfer.
EK economy has 34 inch seat pitch compared with 31 inch on BA (That extra 3 inches makes a huge difference to my frame)
Yes there is screening during transfer at Dubai but it is so efficient its hardly noticed, also the big plus is its only 2 flights each way instead of 3 flights.
What I would like to add in BAs defence is that the cabin crew (mainly male) were very professional especially the way they dealt with children.
Also the new 1st class cabin looks very nice (don't think I will be using that though ! )
