The ground staff on Islamabad is horrible. The on board services are excellent.
Some Crew were distinguishably fake in their interactions with passengers.
The flight was nice and on time. The comfort can be slightly better in business class
They were very pleasant and helpful. My husband and I were sitted apart. We asked if we could be seated together were told flight ws fuly booked but would try. After a while they were able to make it work we got seats together. Their food is good and attendents are very friendly/helpful.
The crew were friendly, dressed professionally and helpful when needed. The food was good to very good. The seats were comfortable and entertainment selections were excellent. For that long of a flight Athens to Newark Economy is a little tight and the space became uncomfortable about mid-way. Next time I would try and get a Premium Economy seat. Especially for the return flight when one can be less enthused and tired. On the way to a vacation enthusiasm can outweigh discomfort.
Most aspects of the flight were great! The entertainment was mediocre, though, which made such a long flight less enjoyable.
The boarding experience was worst ever. Single aerobridge used for boarding and deboarding which led to lot of chaos. Food options were not great. First flight delayed by more than 3 hours which led to missing of the next flight we were stuck at Dubai airport by more than 6 hours
Emirates is still my favorite airline. The good, entertainment, crew, and value are excellent. Unfortunately, the flight was delayed taking off and arriving - which caused me to lose my ground transportation plan. While delays happen, more communication about the delays would be helpful.
I see I gave my review for this flight on my flight Zürich to Dubai rather than Dubai to Singapore.
Emirates is always great experience, however, they should reopen their lounge in Istanbul. The IGA lounge is not worth it
