Have to agree with PAXBOY as the space is the thing you need, but I would agree with you that EK Business offering is becoming not that special. I am currently in the Far East having come out with them last week, and the service on the lunch time flight to DXB was the poorest I have had since I started using them in approx 2000. Nothing fundemental but just little things eg wines and meals out of sinc and food std not as good - this has been dropping for a number of years on EK in my opinion for what its worth. I know I should be pleased to be getting anything at 38000 ft as I started to fly in early 1960,s and you got a sick bag and British Rail sandwich on some of the smaller operators if you were lucky, however times have changed and std raised along with tech. Also DXB transfer through security was complete chaos with fast track lane swamped with economy passengers with no effort from EK or DXB Authority to sort out - worst I have see at DXB and I am there evry 3 - 4 weeks. May start to review options for future trips with other Mid East carriers if no improvments - suggestions welcome.
