I just recently travelled with Emirates from Auckland to Dubai and from Dubai to Frankfurt. What I experienced, having Emirates used in the past, a previously highly rated airline did certainly not meet the expectations at all, and I will not to use them ever again in the future.
1.) The seat booked had a jammed back rest which I reported and received an offer for a different seat, one at a window with other passengers sitting in that row and a second one in front of a bulkhead, next to the aisle.
2.) It felt that the whole crew were fairly new in the job as they felt a bit lost serving clients. They regularly bumped into my legs while coming out behind the curtains.
3.) Not too long into the flight all the toilets on the left (backbord) stopped operating and therefore were locked as not being operational anymore. With a flight which was fully booked in Economy this caused quite some inconvenience.
4.) The food served was honestly absolutely appalling.
5.) When I boarded the next flight from Dubai to Auckland, me and other passenger noticed water drops and some small particles coming out of ceilings ventilation grid for quite some time before it finally stopped. One of the other passengers complaint about it but was just told not to worry.
6.) The landing in Frankfurt was extremely harsh and quite frightening to say at least. Maybe a young pilot was given the opportunity to land the fully loaded plane. You might want to consider training your pilots in a safe environment, especially when having passengers on board. I can tell you that everyone I talked to was very extremely frightened.
I formerly complained an d they responded 'Regrettably, our response time is currently longer than usual. We will endeavour to provide you with a personalised response within 60 days.' They finally came back yesterday 'It is regrettable that we have been unable to meet your expectations on this occasion' and after 56 days.
