Emirates First Class to Athens
Emirates First Class Newark to Athens
After my ride from La Guardia and enduring a couple of hours in third world-like Newark Terminal B, such a pleasure to be home… back on board Emirates First and their 5th freedom Newark-Athens flight. And tonight's 77W had lightning fast Starlink Wifi.
But first, more of the Newark experience...
The usual weak Emirates ground service with First, Business, Platinum and Gold all lumped together.
But all is well once on board.
In the air, another glass of Dom.
Showtime: Emirates First style.
Tonight's menu...
Amuse bouche.
Carrot and ginger soup.
Exceptional Emirates wines...
Fabulous Chicken machbous starter.
Lobster gratin.
OMG... Apple tarte Tatin.
Since the cabin was not full tonight, my seat and a bed, across the aisle.
Oh yeah, that will help me sleep.
Starry starry night.
The coast of Greece on approach to Athens.
As always, wonderful service, great food and fabulous wines making @emirates First Class an absolute joy to fly.
And even Athens cooperated today with very few people at passport control.
And mercifully, Greece has decided to opt of the new EU EES system, wisely opting for tourists and not bureacrats.
