Emirates – Economy Class Dining

After years of flying in Emirates, here’s my first insight to EMIRATES meal. Whenever you book a flight in Emirates you can always choose the kind of food you want in their flight. Emirates offers a selection of special meals to suit special medical, dietary, or religious requirements. I try to be normal and try to go for their default as I try to take less chances in air.

Unfortunately this time the food provided for both my flights in Emirates wasn’t that great. It was better last year though. I felt they offered the kids meal better. My all time favourite which I enjoyed at Emirates was their ravioli pasta. Their breakfast was really not enticing but their dinner was ok if I consider the Murg chetinnad on their dinner menu. Gulab Jamun was nice and so was the muffins provided for the kids. In short you try to satisfy yourself with their desserts, salads and fruits. Maincourses were no show this time 🙁 Oh and I forgot to mention I love their slim chocolates that come along their menu.

Oh yeah and that tiny little fizzy drinks and some hot tea/coffee makes you tuned for a quite nap in the cold plane. Seats are not great, I felt they had the most uncomfortable chairs and so is the leg space :(. But their inflight entertainment keeps you entertained so you don’t take much notice of them 😉 By the way this was an economy class dining experience. I am sure the dining experience at their first and business class should be on a different level 🙁
