A few weeks ago I was checking on the seat assignments for our Emirates flights (SFO-Dubai-Nairobi and return) and saw something like 85 rows on the return flight ! Turns out Emirates routed us through JFK instead of SFO and that too on a brand new Airbus 380. Though flying on the 380 seems exciting, adding yet another long flight is most certainly not. We (mostly Susheel) tried to get Emirates to fix this or at least compensate in some other way. No dice. They didn't budge and now we are stuck flying another long flight from JFK to the west coast.
All I can say about Emirates is that I am deeply dissapointed in the airline and had expected a lot more based on its reputation.
