Emirates Airlines Evaluation
I've travelled on Emirates twice, and this post contains information from two reviews of the airline that may appear to be poles apart.
Phuket Boeing 777 flight from Emirates
I've heard nothing but good things about Emirates, so I was eager to take a flight with them on my birthday. I took a Boeing 777-300ER (77W) from Dulles Airport to Phuket, Thailand, with a connection in Dubai. Since it was a Monday and many people were taking flights back to Dubai, there was a large queue. The counter staff acted in a rather robotic manner. I inquired about the cost of a first class upgrade and was informed that it was not an option as I had no miles. Two free checked bags up to 50 pounds each are permitted, but only one carry-on bag—a handbag or laptop bag—can weigh more than 15 pounds. I was unaware of this. I had to consolidate before because I thought I'd only need one carry-on and one personal item.
