Its is certainly your right to believe that. If there is however a mismatch between what you have paid for and what you expect, your expectations may not be met.

Only if your complaint was of itself, reasonable and legitimate. Your belief that it is, does not necessarily make it so. A complaint for example that you expected them to provide a specific type of pink champagne might be your expectation, butI think most people would think your expectations were unreasonable. If you cannot lift your own luggage, then my personal view is that unless you plan on hiring luggage loaders, it is unreasonable to expect others to lift it for you.

As is your right to so do, but it does not make your expectations, reasonable. You are 100% entitled to expect the ultimate in service but nobody ash an obligation to provide that for you - just to provide what they offer.

I am sure you will enjoy your time on Qatar Airways - they are a great airline, offering good service but I fully expect they would treat your complaint in a similar manner under the same circumstances.

But to suggest that the minor issues you had (and yes they were minor) somehow 'was not worth what you paid for' is a bit ridiculous. You were driven to and from the airport in a chauffeur car, flew many thousand miles in comfort, in luxury, presumably arrived on time, your luggage was out almost as fast as you and you think 'it wasnt worth it' because you couldnt carry the weight of a bag you packed yourself and the crew didnt stop serving everyone else to run to you ?

This is why I asked the question earlier - you had certain expectations which i suspect most people and Emirates are of one mind in terms of a response to you.

Sorry, I dont mean to be rude, but good grief .....
