oh, just remembered another thing. When we flew from Dubai, the flight was delayed for 2 hours. We have already boarded, and were sitting in the aircraft.. Guess why? because they were waiting for 3 passengers from the connecting flight. That was cheap! I will explain why. Once I missed my connecting flight in London, because my flight from Toronto (with British Airways) was delayed due to some technical problem. I missed my flight for only 15 minutes! it means British Airways didn't make 500 passengers to wait even 15 minutes because 1 passenger was late. Now listen. Next flight to Doha was only next morning. BA had to provide me with (a) place to sleep, i.e. hotel (b) with food (coupons for 3 meal were given to me immediately). BA didn't wait for me even for 15 minutes in order to save this bloody meal coupons! Now. EMIRATES prefered to keep 700 passengers in the airplane for 2 hours, just to save on the meal coupons to 3 people who was missing their connecting flight. HOW CHEAP!
By the way, even TURKISH airways did the same once. I had to stay in Istanbul for 11 hours, during the day (not even night!) they provided me with the Hotel, without even asking for it!
I used to like Emirates a lot. But lately they are just simply CHEAP third-class crap.
