Coleslaw got the lowest review... You must have been spoiled with some good Coleslaw in the past.

Besides an uneventful flight from Sydney to Abu Dhabi, there was not that much to write about. Pictures do most justice. If you have any questions feel free to ask and I'll answer them.

I wonder if you could have swapped their post-shower treat for something kosher like fruit.

How do you compare their fist class to the other big ones (CX/SQ/EK)?

Only to the ones I flown,

SQ, EK, CX

Between EK and EY, I will take the EY Apartment layout, EK Bedding, EK Bathrooms/Shower. Anything else is just pretty talk.

CX Bed and seat.
SQ Suite and service.

Great pics! Thanks. Did having a rear facing seat bother you at all?
