Flew Male to Munich via Dubai yesterday and honestly, it was all pretty normal.
First leg was smooth and fairly empty, we even got a full row to ourselves. Dubai felt quieter than usual but nothing out of the ordinary.
Second flight had a bit of a delay, we were already boarded and had to wait about 45 minutes before pushback, but otherwise no issues.
Overall, really glad we stuck with Emirates. Was a bit unsure before the trip, but everything worked out fine in the end.
