Apologies for what will seem like a terribly selfish post. Normally I hang out in the ATC chat section but I wanted to pick your brains. I am flying with Emirates in December on my honeymoon to Capetown via Dubai. Two questions: One, does anyone know the best way to blag an upgrade? I have never asked as I have typical British reserve but to get that for our honeymoon would be amazing. Secondly, does Dubai International have a spa? we have a 5 hour layover over night! We flew with Emirates a year ago and we still talk about the service onboard so our compliments to you all!
