Brazil....awesome....what's your flight path?
Emirates does a direct flight from here to Rio.

I'm on the countdown to trip 5 out of 5 for the summer. :(:(:(

But, on the positive, at least I'll probably go* whereas you are likely to fail to decide how to get to the airport and cancel everything.


*if I don't miss the flight this time.

I'm jealous. So in need of a trip away now and all I have lined up is two UK trips for weddings.

Need to retire. Bored with work. Seems such a slog at the minute.

Not helped by two mates living (8 & 12 months) out in SEA whatsapping regularly from various awesome places.

Dicks.

Well, yes, so am I ;)

It'll probably take you the entire flight to decide on your drinks order with the trolley dolly. I pity those who sit behind you.

Emirates is too dear for me I'm afraid.

I'm flying Dubai -> Istanbul -> Sao Paulo -> Curitiba. Going to be a long ass flight.

Something for you to watch before you go, but you could change your mind before then!!

Tell me about it. 28.5 hours there 27.5 hours back on Turkish for 11k

EK were something stupid like 33 hours there but 19 back but wanted 20k

Difficult to justify the difference.

I wondered how tight you were being if I'm honest and popped onto skyscanner.

There wasn't anything I could see for less than 15k which is butt-hurtingly expensive.

Is this economy, per ticket?

This is offensive.

yup. the summer round trip for the wife and kids was just over 30k! Nasty routing of DXB->FRA->ABZ->FRA->GIG->FLP->GRU->FRA->DXB. Well any routing that includes ABZ is nasty, but you get my point.
