Emirates review by Hala 2016-07-19

I fly a lot and different airlines. I was told that I should fly on emirates because it was Ramadan and I was fasting and had my kids with me that the flight would be easier. But this trip turned into one of the worse that I have taken EVER. It started out with my daughter asking for water and the crew member came and turned said ok and turned off the light and never came back. An hour lasted she asks for water again and the crew member comes back and said we will be passing out water soon. 25 min they come by with water... Ok... I was fasting because it was Ramadan and when it was time to break my fast they gave us 3 dates and a bottle of water and that was it. When we asked for food they said that it was not time for food?!?! I informed them that I was fasting and they now exactly when it was time to break yet they didn't offer us any food. My daughter went looking for food and came back with an apple. And that's what I ate. It was time to fast again and when i asked for food I was told they will bring the breakfast out shortly. Well it came out about an hour after the time for fasting started. I have never experienced such disregard for a person on a flight before. EDITORS COMMENT: When flying in economy you really can't expect food on demand for religious or health reasons. You need to bring your own if you need to eat at a certain time. It's simply not practical to have economy passengers choose when they do and don't want to eat.
