tips and advice for my Emirates flight???

[lastlid]

I always have a re-sealable lunch box with me into which I first put the food I've prepared for pre-flight wait at Manila.

Once on the plane I re-fill my lunch box with extra food requested from the stewardesses, along with the bottle of mineral water that they have also provided me with.

During my stopover in the mid-east transit lounge, I settle myself into one of the comfy lay-flat free seats, eat my free lunch, drink my free mineral water and read my free newspaper.

Every so often I'll go over and use the free wi-fi internet in the transit lounge.

The only penny I'll be 'spending' will be in the free toilets and wash facilities.

You are so right as the airport food etc is sooo expensive.

And I often ask for 2 in flight meals at any one sitting. They normally are obliging.

These days I dont drink but I used to always ask for two bottles of one and not just the one.
