What To Expect Emirates march 2024Upon boarding at the front of aircraft in Manchester, the crew were pre-emptive & helpful , I & others appreciated the customer passenger interaction. Ohhhh, 2.5hrs into flight Ek018 before any service at seat 76H, No face clothes/ refreshing wipes, no bar service or light snack.Starter -Al dente potatoes & sweetcorn, bread roll. boring, what happened? No dressings you will only eat if you 'need' to, so.probably after your main course.MainWhlst savouring the aroma & watching passengers seated across the aisle D to G enjoy their food choice & drinks. Sadly it was unavailable for myself & all others in rear cabin seats H to K. I shall avoid these seats upon the return flight. The Butter chicken & rice looked good & smelt appetising. Yup i was super-deflated when i got Mince & mash, shepherd's pie? appalling, boring, bland, i asked for salt pepper, no? Apparently with the cutlery??? No.Main course :- avoid the mince & mashNo vegetables or salad on offer.So far, no fresh food, only a cheap tasteless reheated luke warm offering of processed junk food for me.As a comparison i can only think school meals from 40+ years ago or hospital food,Ie:- a smooth paste with no texture, would work well for any one going to have turkey teeth or if you're completely toothless. What was it that smelt so good after my 'insulting edible crap' that the cabin crew had?? Pasta? Chicken? I only saw creamy scauce leftover with real broccoli! And wiith a mega deep slice of Cheesecake. Maybe from business or 1st class menu?Well the curtains were tightly shut but I did get a quick peek.Dessert, yes, a small portion in a dish of cheescake (not the same visually) pleased to say - tasty & enjoyable fortunately. Will not help much in satiating you, however & it will lift your calorie intake.Cheese & biscuits, 2 small crackers, the remains of butter from your bread roll & a typical individual portion of cheese, yeah, ok.Cookie, good, soft chewy & tasty. TickCoffee/tea, I passed.So for the Manchester Dubai flight at 13.10 fl that's your lot until tomorrow as landing at 12.25am the following morning, breakfast is your next meal.As that's the main daytime flight, what can you expect on an early morning or evening flight?How things have declined in service from previous experiences. Shocked.OK the aircraft is heaps better than jet2 easy jet & ryanair, it is in a different league 5☆, but the service, No. Cabin temperature Manchester to Dubai, ok, wearing a polo-neck mid weight cable jumper & trousers, fortunately i had socks, which were needed.Bathrooms clean & fresh throughout whole flight with adequate rolls, tissues, paper towels & toiletries. ICE Excellent, variety, quality, impressive, really happy!But why after Emirates have invested so much in technology & aircraft can't we pre-order main dish before flight? Blanket &:pillow, earphones still available. Seats in economy spacious, nice & comfy, this was an A380.Cabin crew member on the trolley service for the main meal, was cursory, lacked social skills, oblivious & neglient.Leaving seat & asking at crew area for additional drinks & ice, pleasantly given. Instead of previous breakfast service before arrival, the 2nd trolley service is a beverage & small tub of vanilla icecream. As a petite female, I'm hungry!I will seriously review the ££ cost of competitors even if it entails a stopover before making further bookings with Emirates & shall probably change my next already booked flight for another airline. Skywards member.Pre-booked disabled assistance not available at Emirates checkin, where I was advised by Emirates to go. So as a sole traveller I had to get myself to the opposite, far end of check-in desks for all airlines at T1.Why! Please advise special assistance is available before check-in & where it is.I had phoned Emirates & asked prior to departure.Jet2 from LBA do, but not Emirates in Manchester. Return flight, I will be well prepared before boarding.This review will be posted on Trustpilot, Emirates, Facebook, Google & other airline/ holiday review sites.I only post reviews when I think it's needed, be it good or bad This one, please share & let others havw expectations of how Emirate flights currently operate. 👋 👋 🔉
