Hi, and welcome to my latest Trip Report,
Hong Kong to Bangkok and return by Emirates First Class
14 June 2009
Emirates #385
Hong Kong to Bangkok
For many years, Emirates has operated between Hong Kong and Bangkok. The late departure time has been very popular with both Hong Kong and Thai people to catch the ride after a full day of work/leisure. This heavily tourist route has usually been operated by a 2 class 450 seats B777-300 (A6-EMP/EMQ in particular) until last year Emirates have been sending the refurbished 3 class B777-300.

Hope you enjoy the sights and sounds of this Trip Report.

Hi Sam,
Awesome report of EK F! Thank you for sharing.
Shame on the inconsistency of their on board service. As far as I know, only Globetraveller had managed to receive a consistent high level of service on the most amount of successive flights. And that was in Y!
On the other side, I had never expected that their overseas lounge food offering could be such massive....and mouthwatering too.

Hi Sam,
Thanks for posting.
Whilst the outbound flight was good, the return was poor.
My father had 3 F class flights on EK on the trot, all 3 were like your return, even one where he and his wife were the only passengers, he no longer fly's EK.

Hi Mark
I think the challenge with Emirates is that with many new and inexperienced crew joined onboard, it is a stuggle to maintain service level inconsistency, especially when the airline is expanding fast all the time. Different culture of the crew may also be a factor. Some particular nationalities crew tend to be more outgoing than others.

- Sam, all true, I've noticed the same when travelling on EY, some flights are great, others are bad.

Was unaware that some of the 300ER's still had the old business class seating. Was lucky enough to have flown all four J legs of my return trip to Paris via DXB on EK on the A6-EC* 77W's. All had First class suites and the new business class product.
