All I can add is that far too many people are really up themselves when talking about their 'dreadful experiences' on Emirates.
Last Fy I had 104 flights, and about 70% on Emirates and the balance on Flydubai, Oman Air, Qatar Airways , SaudiAir and occasionally on BA. I even flew NASAir once - never again though.
Emirates are consistently good on Economy, Sure, the company does occasionally leave something to be desired but the way you lot go on, you would think it was third world airline, flying a DC3.
Get a grip - a cup of cold team on one flight, once does not make a trend, any more than your persons moans is a depiction of an entire airline. They don;t grovel to our cards - btu so what ? Its no longer much of an elite status and you pay the same as they guy in the seat next to you. I CGAF if they no longer say hello, as it was always artificial.
'Disdain' my ar*e - its they realised you have your head up yours and that you are not worth the effort, as people who do lots of miles are actually following corporate airline policies and you are no more a true decision maker than the man sitting next to you - probably even less so.
