		<description><![CDATA[Your experiences as a frequent flight traveler can be quite helpful to first time flyers and whether it’s Dubai or any other city, each airline has a range of low and high points making up its personality.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Emirates airlines offer quite a few bargains for Indians as they operate a lot of direct flights on daily basis from a number of cities. But I had kept myself alert as cheap airlines have sometimes a ‘reputation’ for having lousy services.<br />
<span id="more-1676"></span><br />
But Emirates has not only impressed me, but carved me into one of its frequent flyers.</p>
<p>My first trip with Emirates was booked on an online booking site where I received quite a heavy discount considering I prefer to travel by Business class.</p>
<p>As I checked in, I saw no frustrated faces during boarding or otherwise on the flight. Many a times I have seen agents/attendants who have provided me services as if they are doing me a favor! But not so with Emirates.</p>
<p>What I liked best about Business class was the Inflight entertainment. During the 3 hour Mumbai-Dubai flight I could access international news channels; latest movies</p>
<p>During the flights, the cabin crew and attendants were really well mannered and polite. I just don’t remember the umpteen number of times I had hammered them to serve them my favorite glass of juice again &amp; again. But thank goodness, they were patient!</p>
<p>The food was excellent and extremely delicious. It was well presented too &#8211; A heavenly experience.</p>
<p>The flight landed just in the nick of time; sometimes they even land earlier than presumed.</p>
<p>In conclusion I was floored by the five-star experience set out for me and would highly recommend Emirates airline</p>
