BA - LHR Observations - I normally use DXB-LHR-NCL-LHR-DXB around 2-3 times a year, timings suite a quick visit(If EK had a second daily service it would be great!) back to UK and normally cheaper than EK from DXB. All of my planned trips are with EK direct booked from NCL. This year I have looked twice at BA to do this but each time the prices have over doubled to well over £1000 return from DXB. Plus the connections are not always brilliant with the NCL schedule changing a lot. So each time I have given up and not travelled!
I see from the winter AF are putting the morning DXB-CDG back on so this may give me some options!
Interestingly with FlyDubai or Wizz linking DXB/DWC further into Europe you can connect with another low cost to NCL for some really cheap fares if you've got the time to do it!!
