Transport - Emirates Review

Expected better

3*

---

Flying with Emirates was certainly not the worst flying experience or airline I have had, however I expected more from such a reputable company as this one. Our 7 hour flight on a Boeing 777-300 from Singapore to Melbourne was at an okay time; departed at 13:55 and landed at 00:20, although there was a slight delay with take off. Check in was good, complimented by online check in and then self bag drop off. Boarding was efficient as well. The seats on the aircraft were slightly dated and the leg room was at best, average. The meals were also mediocre and the service overall was not that good; they only offered drinks once, compared to airlines like British Airways where they make it clear that drinks are complimentary and unlimited and you can request them whenever. The inflight entertainment was decent and they even had cameras mounted outside of the plane that you could observe. We arrived at our destination on time and proceeded to get our bags in a timely manner. I would fly with this airline again, but I was disappointed that it didn't live up to all the hype that Emirates seems to get as a carrier.
