I really had a good trip with emirates to fly to delhi. It was really comfortable and pleasant . We booked a basinet for my infant however the crew didn’t provide basinet because they assumed my kid will not fit in without even trying. So i have to take him on lap whole time. Apart from this the food and flight was awesome. They served kids meal early.
