If you are looking for opinions to fly with Emirates , we will tell you what our experience was like. We have also added a lot of practical information that we ourselves usually take into account when choosing a company to buy flights, if we are hesitating.
The idea for this section arose because it may happen to you like us, that when you are looking for flights, you like to compare. Many times we look for opinions from other travelers when deciding. Especially when there is not much difference in price between one and the other. Or if it is very, very cheap.
What it’s like to fly with Emirates
Emirates is one of the companies we use the most when flying , especially because it has very good prices to travel to Asia , one of our favorite destinations.
The flights stop in Dubai , a country that we have visited twice taking advantage of those stops. The airport operates 24 hours a day and almost exclusively for Emirates, flying from there to all continents.
We have to say that the airport is impressive, with a lot of Duty Free shops and restaurants of all kinds, services such as free showers or even a Mosque where you can pray during the stopover.
As for Emirates planes , we have taken a lot, from the great Airbus 380 to travel to China , to the Airbus 330, and they are all phenomenal.
How to check in with Emirates
Emirates offers the possibility of checking in online through its website , and you can select your seat up to 24 hours before the flight departure. We recommend selecting it at the time of booking.

Space between seats
Very good. Wide seats with room to move your legs without your knees touching the seat in front.
Food on an Emirates flight
Very good. Brilliant. Very rich and with little details like a chocolate, spreadable cheese or salty crackers.
