I've been flying from Doha to the Philippines several times a year for the past 6 yrs...and you know what, the ratings don't mean diddly squat when it comes to economy class, whether its in Emirates or QA!

I've had good and bad experiences on both airlines but in general the attitude, conduct and attentiveness of the staff is nothing special. They put on their best smiles when we leave the plane but that is about the nicest they can get lol. At least in my experience. And I like to think I'm a decent passenger.

Food on Emirates is definitely superior though. I will give them that. But in the end, I guess all that really matters is a safe flight. :)
