Rare EngIceDave Posted April 3, 2023 Author #26 Share Posted April 3, 2023 Evidence bribery works. I’d flown Emirates Business in the past, but was way too expensive this time. Do we flew economy. A trick I learned is always be nice to flight attendants. They have sway. I met a lovely FA named Tula while getting preflight coffee. Once in board, gave her and the entire crew a bag of chocolates to share. Halfway through the flight she comes to check on me (she was in different section), see if I need anything and I just asked if they had a spare business class amenities kit. While later she brought a set for both my wife and I. Both all fully stocked with Bulgari products. the economy class were a pair of thin socks, thin mask and that’s it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare EngIceDave Posted April 3, 2023 Author #27 Share Posted April 3, 2023 remember when I mentioned Priority Pass being worth it? in Dubai I have 2 lounges to choose from. If you travel a lot, it’s well worth getting. Comes with some travel credit cards. this is a peak at the Al Alhan lounge which appears to be a part of the Airport hotel. And why fool with a bowl brush when you have a spray gun? 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare EngIceDave Posted April 5, 2023 Author #46 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Ever see one of these? That’s a “milk box” Milkman would take your old bottles and put new fresh milk. There’s a door inside to retrieve it. This way milk man didn’t bother you. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momof3cruisers Posted April 5, 2023 #48 Share Posted April 5, 2023 Great report so far. What an amazing trip. I’m astounded by your Uber fare though! Why on earth was it so expensive? I’ve taken several Ubers to and from MCO and various parts of Orlando and the most expensive was around $50. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
