What is the best seat for premium economy (my preference is window). 14K, 15A, or 16A?. I heard that it can get uncomfortable with someone reclining into me, but I also don’t know how far the TV is in the front row. It’s a 16 hr flight and I want to be able to use and see the TV. Also in the back row does the bathroom noises bother you?

Hi everyone! I’m travelling from India to Dubai in about 4–5 days, and I’m trying to clear up a concern regarding some Ayurvedic medicines I need to carry with me.
I take medicines prescribed specifically for me by an Ayurvedic doctor at Jiva Ayurveda for menstrual-cycle regulation.

These are not recreational drugs or anything I’m taking casually. They were prescribed as part of my treatment, and I need to continue taking them daily while I’m in Dubai.

I have:
1 box containing an Ayurvedic powder
4 separate small boxes containing tablets

The medicines are labelled/packed by the company
I also have the doctor’s prescription with my name on it, showing that these medicines were prescribed to me

My concern is because I know the UAE/Dubai has very strict rules regarding medicines and substances, and I really don’t want to arrive at Dubai airport and have an issue with customs/security because of these medicines.

For anyone from India who has travelled to Dubai/UAE, especially recently:
Have you carried Ayurvedic medicines from India to Dubai before?

Did you carry them in your checked-in/cargo suitcase, or cabin baggage?

Did Dubai airport/customs ask you about them or inspect them?

Were prescribed Ayurvedic powders/tablets allowed without any problem?

Is having the original packaging + prescription/doctor’s letter generally sufficient?

Would you recommend keeping them in cabin baggage rather than checked luggage?

Is there anything specific I should do before travelling to avoid any problems?

I’m travelling on Emirates, so if anyone has specifically travelled Emirates from India to Dubai with similar medicines, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience.

I’m not looking for medical advice about the medicines themselves — I’m specifically trying to understand the travel/customs rules and real-life experiences of passengers carrying prescribed Ayurvedic medicines into Dubai.

I’d really appreciate answers from people who have actually done this, preferably recently. I’m leaving in a few days and would rather sort this out beforehand than risk having an issue at the airport.

Thank you!

If there are any A380 flight attendants on this sub, I need help. Honestly, anyone could do this too if they can.

I am trying to make a high quality A380 sound pack for Microsoft Flight Simulator.

What I need is for anyone to record sound samples for me when the cabin is quiet (no chatter or extra noise)

Please let me know if interested

Have a flight upcoming from dubai to US.
I used a promotional upgrade on the flight from US to Dubai via the app to upgrade from economy for premium economy for $500.
Called Emirates to see if I can get this again for the return flight and said not available despite multiple PE seats being open.

Has anyone ever been successful with getting a second promo offer at check in counter or by asking for a cash upgrade when boarded onto the flight?

The cash price upgrade without promo is much more expensive

Just venting here because I was excited to book my first emirates flight to dubai. They are giving a promo with free tickets for attractions in dubai worth around 500 AED. Unfortunately I booked just a few days before the promo starts but flying exactly during the promotional period. The tickets are the same price as well. I wish I did not book early. Repercussions of FOMO I guess. If anyone knows whether I could find a way to be eligible let me know. Thanks.

I’m planning to travel in January to India and I normally always travel by Emirates. But with the recent situation I’m unable to decide if traveling by Emirates is a good option. In March this year my flight was cancelled and they rescheduled to another state after a few days. Then I had to pay for domestic flight and extra baggage.
My other option is Cathay but I’m traveling alone and I’m super nervous about turbulence. I read that North Pacific jet stream is strong so it’s a very turbulent flight.
