A New Zealand court has ordered Emirates to pay more than NZ$13,555 (S$11,300) to a passenger who claimed that the Dubai-based airline’s advertisements for its business class offerings were misleading. According to New Zealand news website

Ms Laura Mueller, a referee from the Disputes Tribunal, ordered Emirates to pay Mr Morgan by next Monday, noting that the airline had “advertised a business class service that consumers were very unlikely to receive”, reported Stuff.

The airline also told the Disputes Tribunal that Mr Morgan and his wife had received seats that could recline to 166.1 degrees, which was “equivalent to a lie-flat seat” to “ordinary” travellers.
