My husband is getting ready to get on Emirates Air for the first time. He's heard good things about them. We'll see.

Almost every airline I've flown has already been mentioned.


Not mentioned:
In the mid 80s, there was something called Air Atlanta. All the seats were First Class, at an economy price. We flew it to Orlando and back, connecting in Atlanta. It only lasted a few years.

BWIA (British West Indies Airlines)-New York to Barbados. Now defunct.

Sabena (Belgian Airlines)-New York to Brussels. Now defunct.

Still flying and already mentioned: Air New Zealand. However, I did NOT fly to NZ, but rather from Los Angeles to London and back. Before I took these flights, I didn't realize flying between two countries using a third country's airline was legal, but I learned there is something called "Fifth Freedom" flights where it is possible. The flight originates in Auckland, stops in LA, then continues to London.

You know, I have no idea. Delta, for sure. USAir? American? United? I have no clue. To me, a plane is a plane. Customer service is always mediocre.

What does that say about the airline business?

Haven't flown with them, but they're supposedly a mixed bag. Service and amenities are supposedly first rate. However, they make money with small seat pitch and relatively narrow seats.

I've read that Emirates has 10 across seating in economy while most other airlines flying the same type of plane have 9 across.

He is in first class so that shouldn't be an issue. As long as he gets there in one piece, I'll be happy!

Depends on the equipment. On an A380 there's access to a full lounge as well as onboard showers.

WOW OTT
But I did like the lie flat seats in Cathay

He didn't mention showers, but he did say there was a lounge and he sent me a picture of the comfy seat that converts to a nice bed and was very private. I don't care if it was a king sized bed with a private hot tub, I wouldn't want to be on a plane that long!

And the shower:

They do have a five minute limit on the water though.

 

[Flight]

I remember some time ago lounges in the forward section of coach and the piano bar in the aft section. During the flight we left our regular seats, sat in the lounge, and stayed there for landing!

Nothing like the cattle car flying of today. Even first class has little to offer in some aircraft and airlines.
