Flying the World : Hong Kong - Bangkok - Dubai - Rome

Flight report by "253" from HKADB :

EK387>>>HKG>BKK>DXB

Before boarding, view of HKIA


Another view of HKIA


Ready to board!


Emirates Screen


PTV with the view of forward


Inflight magazine, Duty Free and Safety Card


The seat of EK's 332... Hard as rock!


Meun!


Meun is for all 2 sectors


So what are we having next sector?


This is the only beef meal for all 6 sectors


All the rest of EK sectors were either lamb or chicken...


Transit in Bangkok was so so so long... And I was so so so sleepy!
Finally... it's took off!!!



Breakfast was serve in the middle of the flight... strange~


Actually I didn't touch it at all... I fall in sleep once I took the photo...


After the meal, they turn on all the light... but still have an hour before landing...


Sunrise mean we are almost there!


Finally I can leave the plane... just for a while only~


My flight is always outer bay, good for photo shooting!


It's 6am!!!


EK097>>>DXB>FCO

My flight to Rome was operated by this aircraft


Everything repeat, with a bigger PTV!


Flight path, flight time is around 5 hours


Cabin view of 773, EY was almost full load


Only light breakfast was serve on this flight!?


No, they serve 2 meals for a 5 hours flight!


I feel it's too harsh for the crew!
EK crew should feel so and that's why they were all long face during the service~



Finally! Almost land in Rome!

I'm sure it didn't fly over Iraq. Those maps just show a straight line from your departure city to the destination city, and don't take into account politics or wars.

The author just replied me. The flight flew to the south of Iraq and not over it.

The seat on the Emirates A330-200 is literally as hard as rock !! They really should do something about their economy class on that plane ... Qatar airways has Emirates completely beaten in terms of the A330, the business class and economy class products on a Qatar Airways A330 are miles ahead of Emirates.
