A New Zealand man has been awarded $13,555 in compensation after he claimed a business class Emirates ticket from Auckland to London did not match the reality.
Surgeon Mark Morgan spent a whopping $13,000 on two business-class tickets last August.
While the advertisement looked enticing with slick leather, spacious reclining chairs, Morgan argued the reality was the opposite, according to the Australian Financial Review.
He took his complaint to the Disputes Tribunal and submitted photos and links to what he was told his seats would look like.
Emirates argued its fine print clearly said it “cannot guarantee any particular aircraft will be used” and it does not make any guarantees about in-flight entertainment, advertised meals or in-flight services”.
