Even after my third year studying in switzerland, i still vary the flights i take. From Qatar Air, to BA, Emirates, and Lufthansa. And no, if your thinking why don't i take Kuwait AIrways, just no!
anyways, i decided to take Emirates to zurich this time, and take a 3:30 hour train to the mountains in gstaad where i study. The plane to switzerland was fine and did its job perfectly. However, the plane going back is pushing onboard entertainment to another level. I was in economy, but still, the screen was a 10-12 inch i believe, with a colored screen remote control. The collection of movies, tv series, tv channels, and music has grown even bigger now. Not only so, but you can insert a USB memory device into a socket next to the screen, be it a hard drive or a flash memory stick. Also, on the bottom left hand of the seat, there is an electricity socket for your laptop or whatever you want to charge up.
The legroom has gotten better, however emirates still have not mastered their seats, because they are very, how should i say this, tiring. Its difficult to sit on them because unless you recline the, you are sitting in a position that is almost tilting forward a tiny bit. Your bum and the bottom of your backbone (tailbone) starts to really hurt by the end of a 6 hours flight which is really uncomfortable. I don't eat out due to my diet, therefore i did not try their food.
This post was meant to be about the inflight entertainment, and after watching (pride and glory, and rock n rolla), I realized what an amazing system they had.
