Posts: 4050Nihal, Fantasia, Marhaba
I tried finding Nihal Hotel last night - no luck. I should've done a quick search before heading out. It's next to Marriot in Deira, Maktoum Street, near clocktower. Rumour has it there are Filipino WGs in the nightclub. Will check it out next week. The girls in the band look good (see pics on website). Anyone been to the club there?

Marhaba services have been mentioned here briefly. 60DH ($17) for use of their lounge, including food, drinks, internet, TV. Well worth it.

Sporadic and NiceGuy99 recently mentioned Fantasia Hotel. I'm looking for new places to check out, especially the club/s, and it sounds worth a look. Nothing comes up from google. Any info Sporadic, NG99?
cheers

JD, No need to repeat your request two days in a row.
If it is really new (I have never heard of it anyway) you may be a pioneer!

Posts: 16The Metropolitan Hotel
Hey Guys,
I just wanted to let everyone know that the Metropolital Hotel in Dubai is really guest friendly. There is absolutely so problem with staff.
In fact I stumbled over a really great bar and restaurant that is part ofthe hotel complex and overflowing with beautiful women waiting to pamper you. The girls are mostly Asian but some others are available also. It is called the Rattle Snake Bar and Restaurant and is situated behind the main hotel building. You can go and hang out there and enjoy the view and a few beers or you can swing by and pick up some company and head to your room.
For me I don't like to lead the woman through the lobby in case I meet a colleague or some one I know. In this place you can make the arrangements, close the deal and leave only to have the chosen woman knock on your room door ten minutes later.
This is a buzzing happening place with lots on offer.

LUFTHANSA - the upgradet planes (like flight to Munich) with new and really improved Business class sky beds is (on my opinion) on good money for value relation, beside this you can obtian sometimes good Corp.Rates with them
Ones I tried OK (czech Airlines) because of their realy chep price ...C Class Venice/DBX - RT Euro 1.200... well not bad, clean plane, nice passengers and staff but ...terrible connection...
Avoid Austrian which fit you into a 737 with 2+2 seats but not worth the price ( I guess it was around € 1.700 or so) too.
ciao a tutti

But I have always liked Singapore Airlines just don't go there enough and as I fly EK so much would always choose them over anything else.
In Abu Dhabi-Etihad is not bad either, nice flat beds, but as I slpet all but 15 mins from Europe last week can't say too much else!

Economy Emirates everytime, excellent. Great staff good seats and ICE system;
Emirates business not so good, I often go to Europe and Manila business and frankly the seating needs to be improved. Emirates are upgrading to flat beds ala BA. Superb loyalty scheme including egate cards for passport control in Dubai.
BA sucks both in business and cattle. Staff have attitude. Loyalty club is crap.

Posts: 73Both Thai Air and Royal Jordanian also have excellent business classes into Dubai. Would actually put Royal Jordanian ahead of any other carrier I have ever flown worldwide for seat space. You are pretty much sitting in a massive lazy boy recliner and only 6 seats wide. I can stretch out flat and still have room to roll around in and I'm 6 foot.
As the other poster stated, Emirates is overrated. Flown both their econ and business classes and def was unimpressed with both.
Avoid Aeroflot or Iraqi Air into Dubai ... both flying death traps just waiting to fall from the sky due to maintenance issues.

Just some thoughts about some airlines flying into DXB from Europe.
Coach:
I like Emirates, decent sized seat and reasonable legroom (certainly more than BA.) Nice IFE
Air France is not awful, but the planes are older A-300´s out of CDG. Small IFV screens
BA: coach is cramped, Econ plus is ok but quite a bit more money.
Swissair was ok, again not the legroom of Emirates. Screens not huge
Alitalia fly some ancient worn out 767´s out of Milan, avoid if possible. NO seat video, just the overhead monitors.
Sri Lankan: The planes and stews are fine, the fellow passengers are not. Total scrum getting on or off, stews cannot control pax. Mayhem. So-so IFE
Gulf Air: Actually not that bad once you are in the air. Decent IFE
KLM out of AMS flys MD11 and 777 to DXB. MD11 has a less dense seat layout (2-4-3) vice the 777 (3-4-3) both are ok for a 7 hour flight. Decent IFE.
Biz:
BA flat bed is nice if just a little short. Layout means someone may crawl over you. Kids in Biz class are a menace. If on a 747 (rare) book the upper deck (rows 80-85 or something)
Emirates: Used to be no beds but it has been a while, seats ok, nothing special.
Swiss:Nice, fine for a 7 hour flight.
Alitalia: OLD, OLD OLD 767 out of Milan. Subpar all the way.
Gulf Air: Reasonable seat, nothing special.
1st:
No complaints on any airline but BA is always quite nice in 1st.
Really, any 1st is going to be decent.

Emirates are pretty good although not as good as their reputation.
Each seat has it's own video screen which plays "set screenings" but the newer planes have ICE which means you can watch what you want whenever you want.

Felt this was closer to travel info so decided to post it here:
I am on my way to Singapore from Europe and I was thinking of using Emirates Air as a opposed to my usual carrier Singapore Air. I have to to make a stop in Dubai, of course, but all else being equal, is Emirates a good carrier? Does it have the video monitors in every seat like Singapore Air?
