It has come to my notice that the ?award winning? airline for surly indifferent service, atrocious food and misplaced reservations has yet another accolade to put in the trophy cabinet!!
Word comes to me of a lady travelling back from Manchester to DXB who found that during and after the flight that her skin was itching in places, with little red spots. Believing that this must be an allergy to something that she had eaten, or the return to the sticky heat of the Gulf at the end of the summer, she went to the doctor to make sure it was nothing serious.
She was somewhat taken aback when the doctor informed her that the cause of the problem was an infestation of fleas!!
I understand that the poor lady has had to fumigate her house as well as apply anti-treatment to family!! I doubt if the airline has undertaken such action to remove the high-flying parasitic insects?
Given that they jump several times their own length in one bound it would not take long for the whole a/c to become infested ?no class exempted!! This happened some 10 days back so no doubt there are several more Emirates ?pax? suffering the attentions of these little blood suckers (not to be confused with the EK management!!)??.
Stewardess to Pax; ? Sir, would you like so anti-histamine cream to go with the back-scratcher? Sorry no anti-inflammatory drugs on the trolley?.I?ll be back in a couple of tics!!?
