Trip Report on Emirates to Pakistan (1st Time onboard the A380)

This time I decided not only to take some photos and share with you but also write a little report with it.
Hope you'll like it.

Route: Munich(MUC)-Dubai(DXB)-Lahore(LHE)
Date: 02nd Dec 2011 (Arrived on 3rd Dec)
Airline: Emirates Airlines
Flight: EK50 / EK624

On the way to the Airport

Usually I choose Frankfurt Airport as my Departure Airport as it takes me around 3 hours to reach it by train, but as Emirates has announced that they will operate the A380 on the MUC-DXB Route I prefered Munich and also paid the price to travel around 5 hours by train.

Leaving Home at around 5:30AM - Train will depart on 6AM. After changing train in Stuttgart and Munich Central Stations I finally reached Munich at around 11AM.

View out of the Train window.

A bit older train of German Railways but still very comfortable!

Flight MUC-DXB
When I reached the Airport ~3.5 hours before departure time Check-In was already opened.
A Madam has asked me to proceed to First Class Check In Counter. I ask kindly the Check-In Madam to give me Seat 68A or 68K if they are available(Seats at Exit -- amazing leg room!!!)
Luckily the Seats were available and I got 68K.

From the "Airport Mosque" I had a great View of MUC`s ATC Tower.

I decided to visit also the visitor terrace at Terminal 2(Lufthansa and Star Alliance Terminal).

After passing Passport Control and Security Checks I finally arrived at the Gate where I saw the large Super Jumbo - as MUC hasnt finished construction for the 3 Bridge A380 Gate, Boarding was only via 2 Bridges.

So it was Boarding Time and I were really excited about the Aircraft.
Huge and beautiful Window design :)
Image

Amazing Wings - I only can see the tail of the Etihad Aircraft some Gates away.

Image

As I mentioned before - This Seat gives you unlimited Legroom :) Feels a bit like Business Class
Image

Luckily the 2 other Seats also remained empty :)

I love this Tail View Camera
