I did indeed mean that Jewel in Cymru's Crown. Sorry.
As far as DXB being a 'Transit Stop', the 'Powers that be' here are promoting DXB as a major holiday DESTINATION and the main business and finance DESTINATION for this part of the world.
The money spent here in investment is astounding and in the 'traditionally' low season here ( June- October) virtually all of the hotels on Jumeira Beach were chockablock with European tourists. Dubai is a Boomtown and EK want the pax they carry to get off in DXB and enjoy the place.

Mayte, I stand corrected. I was led to believe that the KLM/EK AMS route was a 'recipro' that EK hadn't yet exercised and that EI/EK had a similar arrangement that neither had exercised.
