Can someone explain to me the Emirates hype?

( www.reddit.com )

Can someone explain to me the Emirates hype? I just saw two separate comments saying that Emirates economy is superior than others. I’ve always heard about the great value of business class but was never tempted, especially since I’ve been a long time Star Alliance Gold as a carryover from my business travel days and covid status extensions. I finally lost status after a good run and have…

Do you have places you use for food / restaurants vs nature vs museums vs buildings? Do you go by UNESCO (maybe there is a nice formatted site for this, have had a hard time navigating their site or maybe I have the wrong one. It would be ideal to have a map view, especially to see what’s …

You look different.” I took my hat and glasses off to see if that would help her. No luck. Mind you, I had not lost/gained weight or had plastic surgery or something like that.
