A while back I had to fly Emirates Airline, which I hadn't done for quite some time. I had even lost my frequent flyer card, which created a bit of a fuss as I thought they could just find me in the system. But it turns out there are over 30 people with the same name as me in their system. However, the people at the desk were extremely helpful and eventually found me among the others. It had been so long since I had flown with them, that I had lost my Gold and Silver status and was right down at the bottom. I try to avoid flying Emirates because you have to stop in Dubai, which then breaks the flight up and you land in the middle of the night. The airport is usually packed with people, even at 5 am. And the lounge is also far too crowded. The one benefit is that they offer a free limo pick up and drop off. This means that a fancy Mercedes will pick you up at home and drive you to the airport and vice versa when you land. This is very nice. But it doesn't outweigh the crappy stopover in Dubai. The other nice thing is that on the return flight I got upgraded to first class. However, these Arabians
kind of over do it with all the gold trim, so it looks tacky.
