Cabin Appearance: Clean, extremely spacious so much so that you feel awkward! No amenity packs of any kind by the way for Business Class passengers even though it was an early morning flight and a measly Toothbrush would have helped.Service at departure airport: Pathetic!!! Boarding was late with no exclusive arrangements for Business Class Passengers being informed about it or even given priority while boarding!!Seats: Ok / Felt the Width of seat was disproportionate with the length.Meals: Dinner meal of chicken with rice inedible! Tasteless, Bland! My son didn't even touch his child meal due to its drabby and colorless appearance!!In Flight Entertainment: Good but not great! Why do they have a huge collection of 2 hour movies for a 1.50 hour flight?? & only 3 short length TV show to choose from!! Pilot episodes of sooo many series could be made a part of the selection available for short haul flights.Cabin Staff: Attitude was fine but efficiency left a lot to be desired! Although it’s clearly mentioned how many kids are traveling in a flight but had no fun packs or activity bags for my child and to think I booked Business to avoid being ignored!!Summary: A truly miserable experience from start to finish with nothing exclusive for Business Class Passengers except the fare of course!! So save your money for the Duty Free. Two thumbs down!!

Emirates Jets have the least leg room of any fleet which is how they keep their prices competitive. I would highly recommend paying the extra $50-100 and flying with another carrier. The service from the cabin crew is terrible and flying with this airline is always a miserable experience. Further to that, transiting through earths own hellhole - Dubai - is one of the most unpleasant experiences a human can ever go through (even worse if you have to stay overnight). The airport is always over crowded with people sleeping on the floor everywhere. The climate is horrendous all year round - even the camels hate it. Forget the pictures of the exotic looking hotels, you can't get to them because the traffic in this city is the worst in the world - I kid you not. And don't be conned by the prospect of cheap shopping, I can guarantee you that you will be able to buy cheaper at your local shopping centre or ebay. Trust me, I checked. At the end of the day I will never fly Emirates again.
