EI J class
Flame,
Fair comments. Was just wondering what ur experiences were. Whether it was unhappiness with the product or the service or a mix of both. Asked out of curiosity, nothing else.

With Emirates due to announce its new DUB service tomorrow (if reports are to be believed), EI will have to make a decision about its service product if it's to go into this market at all. EK is a much better airline than EI from this viewpoint and its aggressive marketing and presence in many new markets will make life difficult for EI, regardless of its service product. However, if EI chooses to go into this market with a poor - or no frills - service product, it will be cut to pieces.
Yields are low on these routes and there is an immense amount of choice. A carrier with a poor service reputation will get a bad name very quickly and this makes it very difficult to attract high revenue pax. For example, if I have £300 to spend and want to travel to Asia, I might well fly EI, but EI can't sell all its seats at this cost; if it charges, say, £500+, people will look elsewhere.
But, back to the title of this thread: what is the story about these 777s? I guess we'll really have to wait until the airline announces its new fleet plan - and that won't happen before the govt sub-cttee has announced its plans for the airline's future.
Interesting times ahead ...
