EK404 and the Poltergeist…
Posted on August 31st, 2010 by TWS
This was the worst I’ve seen. Wait until you hear this…
I flew to MEL last weekend on the regular Emirates EK404 shuttle. It wasn’t a full flight so I asked the staff at the lounge to find me a seat which had an empty seat beside me. Call me old fashioned – but I just value my space, especially flying on EK with the 3-4-3 configuration down the back.
About 10-minutes later, the lounge receptionist came running up to me like an excited school kid. She had a new boarding pass and had found me an exit row and had blocked off the other seats.
Excellent. Now I could relax. Well, as much as possible, sitting upright in an economy seat for 7-hours.
Anyway.
The loads to MEL have been up and down lately and this was one of those flights that was around 90% full. No op-up today. Bugger.
