So I've been flying with Emirates regularly for almost 2 years now and I noticed how the service really dropped in the last year. But there are some observations I noticed which makes flying with them more expensive than other airlines:
- I flew 7 hrs with 1 meal, it used to be a meal and snack.
- OnAir internet prices. used to be $1 for 500MB, now it's $8
- Seat Selection and costs associated with it.
- Baggage allowance has been reduced on most flights.
These are some of the most obvious ones. What I don't understand is that the prices are still among the most expensive (if not the most expensive) airlines to fly with. I've heard a lot of stories about laying off air crew and even operations staff and very high operating costs to the extent that Emirates relies on "Dubai Airports" to stay afloat while Emirates itself operates on a loss.
Anyone with a similar experience?
