We flew economy. These days, there no longer seems to be any attempt by Emirates to provide a superior flight experience to the budget airlines. Noisy families were crammed into the cabin, many bringing with them more hand-luggage than could be fitted into lockers, some passengers too wide to fit into the seats! There was nothing specifically wrong with the flight, the crew were friendly & professional and the in-flight entertainment provided by Emirates is always really good. But flying economy with Emirates nowadays feels much like flying with the cheaper competition.
