Thats my trip report of an Emirates flight from Warsaw to Dubai. I decided to catch the connection at Warsaw because the flights were full for all over the Europe! So I spent a night at the city of Warsaw.
Palace of Culture and Science
Plac Zamkowy
The Royal Castle
Golden Terraces Mall

Back to airport by train
After a 5 minutes walk from train station to the Arrivals
There was a crowd at Arrivals with the passengers of Emirates flight from Dubai leaving the Airport
The Departures

The cabin of this old aircraft but well maintained
Then a flight attendant earned me and welcomed in Portuguese! He was fantastic! Changed my seat from 23D to 31B, one of the only near the window seat. Then the captain announced due to ATC problems the flight was delayed
After a short delay we lined up on runway 33

Left turn over Warsaw
The safety card
And the menu for economic class
And there's my choice: Lamb medallions as main course, smoked salmon and chocolate delice (very very good).

Great plane spotting, and congratulations for snapping the LOT 787 being celebrated by two fire trucks ! The LOT E-170 livery seems to be Planes rather than Cars :) Thanks for sharing !

We rarely get to see reports on the older EK planes such as this 777.
The service however still remains good no matter what the cabin is like.
