The only reason I fly emirates while going to the United Kingdom from India is because of the awesome connections and my love for the city (dubai). Emirates now has all boeing 777 on the Bom - Dubai and Dubai - london and birmingham sectors which have good legroom on economy for even a 6 feet tall person. The food is pretty good, and the new entertainment software (ICE) has over 500 movies/shows/radio channels/games. with about 15-20 hindi movies as well. Also if there is any delay during take off Emirates covers for the time loss...........Emirates by far is one of the top five airlines in the world in terms of connection (5 flights to heathrow 3 to gatwick 3 to birmingham and 3 to manchester everday), inflight entertainment. I would definately recommend emirates to one and all. Even though there are cheaper flights to the United Kingdom I choose to travell by emirates.
