just to make something clear...EK flight plans/notams/WX are available to crew (about 3 hours before depature)..anywhere in the world. At some EK hotels computers are avaiable to log in and down load, at others internet is free but requires a crew member to have a laptop...at others there is no free access at all........
having said that....if you dont get too carried away about airports you will never go to..airport briefing is ok (standby for incoming)
