We took off on JetBlue at 10 pm yesterday and arrived JFK at 6 am. The Emirates counter hadn't opened yet, so we were first in line in a rather sparse Terminal 4. Around 10 am, we were off again on an Emirates airliner, headed for Dubai. 
The service on Emirates is renown for its excellence, and we soon found out why. What stood out was how they specially attended to the needs of our kids. We so appreciated it. The massive selections in their in-flight entertainment helped as well....not to mention the partially-full plane that allowed us to stretch out across multiple seats for restful sleep.Overall, "B" and "J" handled the 17 hours of flight time quite well....and as a result, so did "L" and I.
