I think we have been here before!
ATIS? No idea in DXB approach we have no access to SHJ ATIS unlike all of the other airports we work! Could have just changed as WIP some days is off/on at times??
Direct ULERA? Don't take it if you cannot do it! I guess you are an infrequent visitor to SHJ as most airlines jump at a straight in and are ready for it??
Decent - Is restricted due airspace but 6A should be given 5nm before ELELA, again if you cannot do it refuse!!
Change arrival in FMS?? So you program direct to ULERA?? Not difficult its on the STAR any way?
ATC will be happy to give extra miles but tell us early as the options run out the nearer in you get. Plus the routing effects others so don't just accept and end up going around or needing repositioning later when some one else could have been No1!
