- adventures of an EK jet-setter. Many more pictures.
Emirates Airline - the company's web site
Dubai Airport - the airport's own web
site - good arrival/departure information
Tai's Travels - the picture gallery. Follow these links:
So that is the first year of flying with EK. 69 trips out of Dubai in twelve months, visiting 49 new cities; some for turnarounds only but memorable visits to Venice, Nagoya, Shanghai and Beijing, Sydney, Christchurch, New York, Rome and Paris, just to mention a few.
Few delays, a little turbulence, one apparent near miss, and too many meals ate standing up! Follow the link above for year two.
