Ferris, you are dreaming. From the flights I have done, loads are good via DXB. Like wise we left 40 Staff behind in LAX the other day.
Still think Dubai is not a good stop over, Singapore was much better from a final leg flight time & body clock adjusting in Singas slip. Passengers have also remarked likewise.
Qantas service, though much maligned is also far far better than EK from my personal experience.
In fact I felt much more secure about my QF job when I last flew EK.
