My friend told me given she has Gold tier membership, the crew onboard (in Economy) are more attentive to her and offer her more regular assistance/drinks etc, is this true?

Over the last week, the average delay was 2 hours.Is it because of airspace closure? What can i do if i miss my connection. How can i get my luggage back in dubai ?

Selecting seats for my partner and I with a 9 month old on the A380 business class.

Currently in seats 7A and 7K that’s designated basinet seats, but will be away from each other. Wondering if the middle seats E & F, although not basinet seats but better as sitting next to each other and baby can be passed between easily.

Has anyone booked the emirates lounge at Glasgow airport? I read somewhere if your an emirates member (I am but only just opened my account) you can access for free, is this correct? I can’t find anything online about booking it

Hi,

How is the situation in Dubai? Are the flights getting delayed everyday? I have to fly from India->LAX, there are other options there like Cathay Pacific but my coworker seems highly inclined towards Emirates due to comfort, food etc. What would you suggest me to do? Book with emirates or any other flight which is running from Hong Kong etc?

I recently flew Economy with Emirates from Dubai (DXB) to Washington Dulles (IAD). While the in-flight service was fine overall, the cabin crew’s conduct during the final descent was downright disgraceful—and unacceptable for an airline that prides itself on top-tier service.

Roughly 40 minutes before landing, the crew began aggressively sweeping the cabin to strip blankets from Economy passengers. My wife was fast asleep, and instead of letting her rest, a crew member physically pushed her to wake her up just to take her blanket. Before I could intervene, another crew member woke my 6-year-old daughter and yanked her blanket away as well.

When I stopped the crew and asked if they could collect the blankets later so my family could rest, the crew member completely ignored me, refused to respond, and walked away.

This isn't an isolated incident; I've noticed this exact pattern on previous Emirates flights. Ripping blankets off sleeping passengers—especially young kids—is not just unprofessional; it feels completely inhumane. Cabin collection logistics should never take priority over passenger dignity and basic comfort.

If Emirates wants to maintain its reputation, management needs to address this policy and retrain crew immediately. Has anyone else dealt with this aggressive early collection on recent DXB routes?
