Muslim airline more American than our media
Self/vanity | June 12, 2016 | Self

Posted on 06/11/2016 6:56:17 PM PDT by JosephW

Just took an Emirates flight from my new home in Perth to Dubai on my way to Florida for business. The flight was great and this article is being posted from my second flight on their free included wifi internet. However that is not the point of this vanity. Their entertainment system is.

The first movie I watched was "London has fallen" which was positively fun. The second was 13 Hours about Benghazi. Very disturbing! Trump really needs to do a two hour television buy and show this movie and state that it is complimentary of the Hildabeast.

I just wonder what are the chances that either of those movies ending up on US media before the election.

I can see why. Even in coach it is better than 1st class among US Domestic carriers. I used to be upgraded constantly on United/Continental, Delta/Northwest and routinely on American. Their best pales in comparison

But was Jennifer Anniston on your flight, and was she taking a hot shower, and hanging out at the bar?

On U.S. airlines, if there is one thing I can attest to there is a lack of good customer service on U.S. carrier flights. I was working with NMCI for 2 years and traveled all around the nation plus overseas and it felt like the air crew was just trying to pack us in and throw peanuts at us to keep us happy instead of keeping us comfortable at times, I think it starting going down hill in the 80’s, do you agree?

No she wasn’t, but being married to the beautiful and extremely sexy freeperette Tanusha, poor Jennifer wouldn’t have caught my attention.

Well in first class they will still serve a warm cuplet of warmed nuts, but back in coach it is just horrid pretzels now. Gets worse every year. You are probably right about the eighties, but the nineties clinched it and it’s been getting worse each year.

Regardless of color, they knew how to pick the girls back then :).

Are the stewardesses fully enrobed & wearing niqab?

The clothing is moderate with an Arabian flavor. Already had a red wine and coffee with bailys on this second flight. It is already daytime with the sun out so the Ramadan fast is in effect. The salmon was good, but alas they won’t have any pork.

As a general rule employees won’t treat you any better than they get treated by their management.

It went downhill when the cornholers came on.

>> London has fallen

Olympus Has Fallen was very good. Looking forward to London.

>> 13 Hours (Very disturbing!)

13 Hours is an excellent film, and every FReeper must see it.

They have a good reputation, but their flight from Dubai to San Francisco is that absolute pits. The most uncomfortable flight I have ever been on. And I have been on it twice this year. The seats are as hard as concrete and they have about as much room on them as the old Braniff Airways did in the 70’s.

I did complain about it the first trip I took, but they apparently aren’t into customer service much (at least on that flight).

All that said, I did enjoy being able to go through customs in Dubai rather than SFO. Much more pleasant
