I have friends who Love Musaffah. The kids really seem to enjoy it as well. If you don't want to live out there take the allowance and do your own thing.
Flew in the States over 12 years and NEVER had a Tkt confirmed, not to mention if you want to do ID 50 it is a confirmed seat. How is that ****?? There may be things to complain about but I would not say staff travel is one.
