This trip is one of the most sought after by Emirates crew who have their US visa. I loved Hamburg and can't wait to go back again. Everything is close to the hotel so you don't have to go too far to find what you need. The allowance is also very generous at €72 for a 24 hour stay. Breakfast is served on the top floor of the hotel with a fantastic view of the lake and city. The flight between Hamburg and New York only had 50 passengers and First Class was empty so we each spent 3 hours in one of the seats having massages (by the seat, not the crew) :-) and watching films. In New York I stayed in a different hotel to my first visit. This time it was in Brooklyn instead of Manhattan. The shopping around the hotel was great. On the way back to Hamburg we got up to mischief in economy while our supervisor was sorting out paperwork in another cabin. You can see what we did in the photos. I'm now on reserve so my next flight will be a surprise. Maybe I'll be seeing you soon.....
The lake in front of the hotel. You can see the top floor of the hotel just to the right of the crane.
Having dinner in Hamburg on our first night of the trip. On the left you can see myself and Zaneil (from the famous Sydney, Christchurch trip we did) and on the left Chloe (England) and Sameer (India) sat at the front of the table. The other people are cabin crew from the return trip who decided to join us.
After dinner we all went out to the clubbing area of Hamburg which is called the Reeperbahn and also happens to be the red-light district!
Arriving at Hamburg airport for our next flight to New York.
The crew checking-in their suitcases.
As we approached the Canadian coast we could see large sheets of ice which had broken off.
A view of the Brooklyn Bridge and New York City taken from the Manhattan Bridge.
Times Square at night.
Chloe and Waffa (France) made me take a picture with this policeman. It turned out that he is the police captain of the Times Square area. He recomended a nice pizza restaurant for us to visit.
One of our pizzas being made.
The pizza was fantastic. L-R Zaneil, Chloe, Sameer, Ziad (Lebanon), Eva (Lebanon) and Waffa.
We walked down broadway before catching a yellow cab back to the hotel.
One of the shopping streets in the suburb of Brooklyn where our hotel is.
On the return flight we got up to mischief. We pierced the tops of the water bottles and had a water fight.
Then we filled a magazine with talcum power and when Zaneil came into the galley it was flung over him!
The famous hand/fruit holder in the Hamburg hotel room.

And again from the waterfront.
