Love this "whale bird " and have been lucky enough to fly in BC out to NZ. to get off that plane after a solid nights sleep was bliss.Agree with you on how quiet it is on take off and landing cosidering the tonnage that its carrying.The service from the crew on all journeys was on point as was the food. Those warm nuts with the champagne and the mezza plate was delicious.All wines I sampled were superb.The only disappointment for me was the BC lounge in DXB - massively busy - in hindsight maybe i was unlucky but if those big birds come in all at similar times....the result is massive lines at the restos which I didn't expect. Will continue flying Emirates as Im racking up points but when i flew SingAir to South East Asia earlier year they were pretty impressive too.Just discovered your channel...Im in scrolling mode . Happy Travels KCC

I find EVA Air's dreamliner seats to be the most comfortable in economy class, closely followed by EK due to its spacious A380 cabin and incomparably better entertainment. However, during a recent flight with EK, I encountered an issue where my seat didn't stay reclined as it should. It would move with me if I didn't apply constant pressure, and could slide back upright. The crew took a look, disassembling my seat in the blink of an eye, but they couldn't resolve the problem in the air, and showed me the only other seat empty on board, a middle seat towards the back. Instead of moving, I tried playing around with the button, gave up and managed to sleep, but I felt a bit let down that the crew didn't offer any compensation or apology for the inconvenience, especially since the seat and seatback started sliding apart at the joint of the structure, exposing an inch of the metal which I noticed after landing. Would you think like me or is this an overreaction?
