[real person]

You sound like you work for Emirates with your rude and dismissive post. I invite you to dismount from your high horse and just think about the outrageous claims YOU are making about me exaggerating.

I was on that stupid flight for 16 hours, running up and down the aisles, which gave me ample opportunity to count the seats - 56 passengers in business class is the accurate total. I find it infuriating that people dismiss first hand accounts for what is SUPPOSED to be there according to paperwork. How many court cases have been won by evidence that the blueprint does not match the reality?

I also find their overall set up for Business Class really not worth the money you are paying - I have never seen a set up where there are middle seats in Business Class (layout: 2x3x2) But I suppose you'll come back with "but online the design for the cabin is x" - fine. YOU take the Auckland to Dubai flight and see what's there.
