When you say " it is very expensive and difficult to get out again. Especially with a family." you mean "get out) as to living there (restaurants, malls, movies, bars/pubs, etc)? or get out as to getting out of EK and back home? are there any bonds with EK?
Can anyone here that flies the A330 or A340 give me an example of a given month flight line? like...how many days off (are the days consecutives? think not..) how many hours a month? ... you know, that little paper in which you actually plan you life for the next month...
