Etihad vs. Emirates

[yg99]

Anyone flew both any class?

Was wondering the pros and cons of each.

Thanks

I believe there's a thread for this somewhere. Maybe one of the pros can point it out specifically. Or use the search feature?

I preferred EK F to EY F.

I preferred EK F to EY F.

Opposite, though that may change once I flew EK new F 777.

For me EK 380 F had:
-Much better service
-Much better bathrooms
-Much better shower
-Much better seat comfort and recline
-Much better bed comfort
-A bar
-No preclearance annoyance

EY 380 F had a much bigger suite and was more aesthetically pleasing.

EY F was fun for the first part of the flight. Then once they made my bed and I realized how uncomfortable it was.. Combine that with the very limited seat recline and it really was not a top notch First Class experience.

Emirates is way smaller and the cabin is more crowded but you feel like you are in a cocoon of comfort. The seat is super comfy, the bedding is great, there's multiple air nozzles blowing right on you, the stars on the ceiling.. Way better experience.

I agree with most points, but while I enjoyed the EK shower suite better (obviously), for the actual shower itself I preferred EY
