Emirates - 3 weekly to Dubai (and on to Oz/South East Asia)

Continental - 4 weekly to New York (and on to Florida/Canada etc)
You really must be deluded! As has been said above
Aberdeen, Belfast Int'l, Bristol, Cardiff, Cork, Doncaster Sheffield, East Midlands, Edinburgh, Leeds Bradford, Liverpool, Newcastle, Stansted to name a few.
there are numerous airports that are far more likely to get services to Dubai and New York than Bournemouth. Edinburgh for example carries almost 9 times the number of passengers Bournemouth does yet it doesn't have a service to Dubai. Newcastle carries almost 6 times as many passengers as Bournemouth and doesn't have a service to New York. Bournemouth is also significantly closer to Heathrow than either Edinburgh or Newcastle. So please stop making these completely ridiculous statements like these, does anyone really believe that an airport that doesn't even have flights to ANY of the European hubs (Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt etc.)is going to get scheduled flights to New York and Dubai when airports far bigger would give their right tooth to get them!
