For a flight from DXB to IXE (4 hrs) what would be the expected fuel load?

As a % of "tank full" what would this be?

Is it a normal practice for flights to tank up cheap in the ME on such routes?

If this was the case how much more runway length would be required for a safe landing?

As posters have noted AI is lax on carry on luggage and weight. Assuming the argument that oversized at 10 kgs extra shoved into the hold at the gate and another 7 kg of duty free that would add up to about 10 kgs more per pax or about 1.5 tons more. How much more would this add?
