Daily from September.

As one of Emirates spokesmen said 'We've had a lot of requests for flights from Newcastle. That should be one of the more interesting flights'

flights are about £500/£600 from Newcastle direct sao hopefully it should keep the riff raff away. I can't be doing with hundreds of geordies/ mackems/ smoggies descending on Dubai just as I think I've left them behind.

God love 'em.

101 - moving on.
