Have just booked a trip to Meeru in November, our 14th visit. A bit different for us as February is our usual time. And also what is different is the price of reserving seats on Emirates. Paid our airfares upfront so we could reserve seats. We are on the A380 out of Gatwick to Dubai which doesn't have any twin seats in economy unlike the Boeing 777 from Dubai down to Male which does...but Emirates now want you to pay £40 for each of those twin seats. So that's an extra £160 for two of us for the flight down and back. Too too much me thinks !!

At present EK12 10.00 departure from Gatwick is a 2 class A380 which is part economy on the upper deck where the first class used to be and this gets you 2-4-2 configuration seat wise. Not sure this aircraft will continue for November though.

Just back from Maafushivaru a couple of weeks ago and we pre booked seats on the 2 class A380 to Manchester and Emirates cocked them up and double booked them had to refund me £120 (2x60 GBP) still managed to get a twin upstairs on 48 hour check in though.

Also extra legroom are £65 Shocked

I think everyone is trying to make some money where they can, I don't like flying and like the twin seats at the back so have had to fork out the £ 320 extra to make sure I get these Rolling Eyes

That's 2 spa treatments but hey ho it's worth it to me for the peace of mind. We are going to see if we can get an upgrade to at least one of the flights as would love to try it but then that's more spa treatments gone and lets face it Emirates is not Ryanair but I like the look of the comfy seats Laughing
