Emirates as is the case most of the times, was on time for departure and with the assistance of some tail winds was quicker to reach Dubai as well. Being a long haul flight (14 hours), the crew was really friendly and I was even allowed to sit on one of the crew jump seats to finish up some project work for my independent study class.
The food in this flight is what I look forward to most. At the very least, you get fed - but the icing on the cake is the fact that the food is almost always flavoured in an Indian style, making it tasty on the palette, and brings back your appetite.
Another plus is the entertainment system - it is truly one of the best. So many movies, TV shows, Games and entertainment that you forget about how you can finish watching all of it before you land, and start thinking of which ones you want to watch. Well, thats what I did. I spent my first 15 minutes looking at what was available, and singling out prospective entertainers.
After about 4 hours into the flight I was bored with the movies and decided to catch some sleep. An hour later, I just went to the galley and started chatting it up with the crew. I asked them questions about the technical abilities of the flight. After my thirst for knowledge was satisfied, I just started talking. Anyone who knows me knows - I can converse for a while.
After about the 8th hour into the flight I was feeling glazed over, and any feelings were just imperceptible.
All in all, a very normal flight, with as much bodily comforts as an economy cabin could offer on a long haul flight.
