Normally I wouldn't add a plane-related picture to here, but I have to take a moment to gush about my experience flying on Emirates Airline.

Since I traveled with a volunteer group, I wasn't able to play around and get a deal, and the ticket was quite expensive. That didn't bother me, however, once I was on the flight. The individual seat monitors had over 1500 channels of music, tv, movies and games, as well as cameras that showed you the view from the cockpit, from the upper back of the plane, and directly below. Every meal and drink was included in your ticket price (I believe the exception was champagne), and the best little midnight pizza snack I have ever had was on my flight from NYC to Dubai. The seats were roomy and at the start of the flight, everyone was given headphones, a blanket, and a little pack. Inside the pack was a sleep mask, socks, a mini toothbrush, and toothpaste. As more of a behind the scenes type of thing, they put stickers on our luggage on the return flight to fast-track it because we had such a short connection.

I would recommend this airline to everyone, as I have never enjoyed flights more.
