Comment: Being the only passenger in the forward cabin of 14 seats created a very personal level of experience, on-time departure and efficient service.

Comment: Excellent meal service for such a short flight, 6A is the best seat in business for privacy, personal space and wing views. With the bed in fully flat configuration, it is more of a suite due to the extra length seat divider which houses the stowable screen.

5. Final Thought

Comment: Strong Trans-Tasman product offering for the length of flight, excellent catering and seat comfort and worth the miles as part of a NZ-DXB sector upgrade
Highlights: 6A seat space, personal service and catering.
Low Points: Lack of Emirates lounge (this is probably unreasonable considering the level of EK service at CHC).
