“I was informed by Emirates at the bag drop that my seat – for which I had checked in online four days earlier – had been given to another passenger.”
I recently returned to Sydney from Britain flying Emirates with a three-night stopover in Dubai. Checking in at Dubai for the flight to Sydney I was informed at the bag drop area that my seat in premium economy – for which I had checked in online four days earlier – had been given to another passenger and I was being bounced to economy.As I’m a retired solo traveller and in no hurry to return, I declined their offer of a Sydney-Dubai flight at a later date as compensation.
Despite it being a long trip, we took some positives from the experience, namely the determination of the JAL staff to make it work, the quality of the aircraft, the food and facilities, and the fact our premium economy tickets, unlike other airlines, offered access to the airline’s lounges.) I would like to recommend another renowned global ride – Berlin to Copenhagen. Yes, at 570 kilometres, it is a long way, but the bicycle route is gently undulating with no extreme hills.
In parts of Denmark you have the Baltic Sea on your right and forest on your left and ride past old and new thatched-roof houses and through small farm towns. The ride is well signposted, especially in Denmark, with fascinating historic and geological sites along the way. The daily distances range from 45 to 85 kilometres with most of the ride on dedicated bike paths.
