It’s the first time to take a long-haul flight to Europe. We discussed with our friends which airline to choose for many times. With the same fare, we chose Emirates. You need to make a transfer at Dubai Airport in the Middle East. Why didn’t you take a direct flight? Flight?As well as the experience and experience of flying with Emirates this time, I will talk about it.
Why choose to fly Emirates?
My friends had always wanted to release their pigeons before, and they were unable to travel to Greece. Until the beginning of this year, everyone discussed and decided to go to the German Oktoberfest. There was still plenty of time to prepare related matters.At the first level, I started to prepare air tickets. Make good use of Skyscanner APP to compare air tickets. The difference in fares between Emirates and China Airlines for direct flights is less than 2. Considering staying on the plane for a long time, I will definitely be exhausted. The flight time of Emirates is about 8 hours from Taoyuan Airport to Dubai Airport. In the middle, it will park and wait for 4 hours before transferring to Frankfurt Airport in Germany for about 6 hours.
The flight time is fairly average for the two periods. You can take a break at Dubai Airport during the transfer and move your muscles and bones down, so I decided it was it! (The 8-hour flight time is already the upper limit, so the transit times or airlines in Hong Kong and Bangkok are not considered)
Online check-in procedures effectively save on-site check-in time.
Between 48 hours and 90 minutes before the flight departure time, passengers can check-in and check-in on the Emirates official website, enter the ticket reservation code and passenger's last name to log in, and then follow the steps to complete the check-in and boarding procedures.The advantage of this is that, whether you are departing from Taoyuan Airport or returning from Frankfurt Airport, you can register directly at the On-line Check-in counter. There are not too many people waiting, and you can enter the customs to visit the airport duty-free shop soon.This situation is a bit similar to the "automatic customs clearance" at Taoyuan Airport. A bunch of people have to go to the customs to check their passports and visas, but you can easily get their passports and get out of customs with computer identification. Isn't it time-saving?
▲Each passenger in Emirates Economy Class can carry 30 kilograms of luggage (unlimited pieces).
▲ During this transfer in Dubai, airlines provided meal coupons to be picked up at designated restaurants.
▲ Boarding and going!
The first paragraph of Emirates flight experience and experience: Taipei-Dubai.
Emirates uses the Airbus A380 for this route. This double-decker and four-engine giant passenger plane appeared in the movie "Sex and the City 4". The four heroines traveled to Wendy Dabi in first class. A week-long trip.Therefore, I have seen the luxury of first-class seats and bars through movies at that time; in addition, Emirates is the first company to install bathing equipment on the A2 for first-class passengers. It can only be said that this is the ultimate luxury of travel.
Remember that the A380 that took about 6 passengers was divided into upper and lower levels for boarding. Because we were too late to check in, only scattered seats were left and the seats were originally in the last row. We did not change, we only changed the second one. Segment of the flight seat. (This story tells us that you have to hurry your hands and feet...)
The flight attendants on the plane are mainly foreign crew members, but there are still one or two Taiwanese crew members who can speak Chinese. The plane took off to a stable altitude, and they began to busy hand out meal card instructions to each passenger, and then pushed the dining car and drink delivery. For us, the standard of service on this trip is very good. In front of the seat, there is a group of young people who are going to Poland in a group. They take the initiative to get drinks in the dining car, ask for instant noodles, and ask for a photo of the flight attendants. They all cooperate with them as much as possible. Very Nice Flight attendant!
The seating space is still comfortable. The most popular thing is that every passenger is equipped with on-board entertainment equipment, watching the latest movies, listening to music, and playing video games, and can complete the operation with the touch screen.As for the taste of the meal, I am very picky to judge this matter. After asking Wendy who is not fussy, he always said "not bad", which means that the taste is in line with his appetite.
▲ There are so many new movies on board!
▲ Some videos also support Traditional Chinese subtitles.
▲ The stairs at the back of the plane go up to the bar on the upper floor.
▲Only flights departing from Taipei have Chinese instructions on the menu.
▲ There are many types of wine on the plane, which are provided to passengers in small bottles.
▲ Thanks for the service of these flight attendants!
▲ Waiting for the transfer at Dubai Airport.
Dubai Airport transfers and meals, 1 hour free Wi-Fi for passengers to use.
When entering Dubai Airport, the first thing to do is to check the baggage. Due to the terrorist attack, the airports are waiting for it. Carry-on baggage, police officers stationed in the body search, etc., please cooperate seriously.A group of people went to dine with meal vouchers issued by Emirates. The duty-free shops or restaurants in Taoyuan Airport are open until 12 o'clock in the evening (?). Unexpectedly, Dubai Airport is open 24 hours a day. It is already more than 4 o'clock in the morning. Perhaps because of the busy flight network, the airport is full of people waiting for entry and exit.
When you come to a designated restaurant to pick up a meal, you need to wake up with a cup of coffee, eat bread and slide your phone. Dubai Airport only provides 1 hour of free Wi-Fi for passengers to use, and you have to pay for it after you arrive. Free Internet at the airport Mobile vehicles are not limited, the iPad is replaced when the phone is used up, and the laptop is replaced when the iPad is used up.For those with high demand for Internet access and do not want to spend money, it is recommended to find a restaurant that offers free Internet. This coffee shop has Internet access, which is a bit slow, but it is enough to upload FB, Line or reply.
▲ The most important thing to pay attention to when connecting flights is the connecting time and the position of the door.
▲ A view of Dubai Airport, I will introduce information about Dubai Airport in another article.
▲ The above is my meal with Wendy.
▲ The next flight will take off at another terminal.

The second paragraph of Emirates flight experience and experience: Dubai-Frankfurt, Germany.
After four hours of connecting flights and refreshing coffee, the fatigue of the body in the seat was eliminated. Therefore, this flight was full of energy and tried to watch the latest movies on the flight. Breakfast and lunch are provided during the 6-hour flight. They are croissant bread combination and mashed chicken chop. The flight attendants try their best to ask passengers for hot coffee or tea in their free time. They sit in front of the lower cabin, feeling the pressure of space. As if the psychological effects were alleviated, Shu comfortable waiting to land at Frankfurt Airport.
▲ There is a set of three-color stickers in the headset cover, which are "Don't disturb", "Wake up during meal", "Wake up when selling duty-free goods", so that the flight attendants can identify them.
▲ Coke and Pepsi are both English and Arabic.
▲ Customs clearance and luggage collection at Frankfurt Airport.
▲ Wendy led everyone to take the German DB to the next stop in Munich.
Preliminary instructions for check-in and tax refund in Frankfurt, Germany, overview of the airport environment.
Before the 18-day trip to Germany, I did not do shopping at all. I didn't expect my friends to make full preparations and buy and buy together. And they know the good things of various brands and must buy. They are very popular and bought too much!Afraid of overweight luggage and hurried tax refund at the airport on the day of the return trip, everyone came to the airport on the penultimate night and asked the Emirates customer service counter, how to calculate the luggage weight and the number of pieces, and make sure that "the total amount of luggage per person, unlimited pieces of luggage" The weight is 30 kilograms", and an order records a total of 120 kilograms of luggage weight for the four of us.
There are several German tax companies located in Terminal XNUMX and Terminal XNUMX of Frankfurt. I will write a special article on how to refund the tax. The initial explanation is as follows:
1. You need to go to the airline to go through the check-in procedures first, and put the luggage barcode on the luggage containing the tax refund goods
2. Go to the tax office to get the tax refund form approved and stamped, and hand the luggage to the airport staff to board the plane
3. Finally, go to the tax refund office of a few tax companies to pay back the receipts, and see if you want to refund cash or credit card
After completing the tax rebate and entering the customs, the general return journey is similar to the previous ones, flight time, online check-in, boarding experience, etc., the duty-free shop in Frankfurt Airport...Fortunately, it is better to stroll outside the venue. A few of us choose a restaurant There is no way to eat ramen...I haven't eaten Asian food for 18 days. I really miss the soup or rice! (Hidden face)

During the voyage from Frankfurt to Dubai Airport, he encountered a passenger drunk beside him. After boarding the plane, he kept asking for alcohol to drink and became so drunk. This has affected my flight. After discussing with my sister in the afternoon, she suggested In fact, you might as well say politely to the other party if you encounter it, and if it really doesn't work, you can respond to the flight attendant.Yep!This point is still written at the end of this article to share with you, and I will understand it better... It turns out that long-distance flights are quite easy to encounter, but each airline has different practices, and some will no longer provide any alcohol to drunk passengers. Learned one thing and the solution.
