You're on a posting frenzy tonight.....

What's the next topic you got up that sleeve?

Re: Emirates Airline feeling the downturn?
 

bored and abroad.

And its so cold I'm trying to keep my fingers warm

Re: Emirates Airline feeling the downturn?
 

Where you flying back from just checked flights back on 28/29 as I'm coming back then too and availabilitiy from most uk bases??

Re: Emirates Airline feeling the downturn?
 

Sorry 30th, on the day flight from BHX. Its full. They are saying all the flights are full but they are still quoting availability on a lot of flights for new bookings.

Typical airline overbooking.

By the way. With the exchange rate, you'd be mental not to book flexible tickets from London to Dubai and back.

I just did and got it for 370 quid. So thats about dh2,000....

There was a flight from Newcastle to Dubai return for £334.00 flying out yesterday. That was booking it in Newcastle and not Dubai mind you

Re: Emirates Airline feeling the downturn?
 

always cheaper from the UK for some bizarre reason :thumbdown:

Re: Emirates Airline feeling the downturn?
 

I didn't realise. I've just checked today and you can get a direct flight from Newcastle to Dubai return for £400.00. Dubai to Newcastel return is £800.00!! Someone is milking it!:(

Most of the middle eastern airlines charge extortionate return rates from their home market as they know it is a captive one, the clever opportunists that can, always book the return starting from europe/anywhereelsebutthemiddleeast
