Inagural flight to Dubai

Just snagged the last D seat on the inagural flight

Otherwise the Z return fare is 1000 UKP + tax, not bad at all!

Out the 27nd back to 2nd.

Cheers

Well done, I am sure it will be an experience to remember and savour [y]

The only way we will manage to get on it is if we win the pair of tickets being given away at the FV Party in October. I won't hold my breath

That will be the inaugral public flight - there is usually one a day or two before fro invited guests, celebs, press etc...

But enjoy your flight, I'm sure they will make it a good inaugral for you!

Thanks,
Richard

I think when we finally do our stay at the Burj Al Arab we'll now fly VS - well miles and tier points to be had after all! Mind you I suspect that unless its a reward flight it will be down the back in Economy since all the money will be going on the hotel. I'll just have to get my Origami Black Belt practice in again so I can fold myself into a swan to fit in the seat.

Look forward to hearing about it. Out of interest where you staying when you go?

I have no idea where I am staying, I also have no idea where in the world I will be then, but I just saw that there was one D seat left and decided on an impulse to get it (I had some money spare since noone wanted to go with me to Shanghai over the weekend)!

I have heard mixed things about the Burj al Arab, most common is, stay there a couple of days but then get out because it is over the top. Now I am not really scared of OTT so I don't know. I guess I might split it between Burj al Arab and a couple of nights at one of the desert resorts.

First time I ever booked a holiday this long in advance, it feels really good! Also first time I am going to a new place where I don't know anybody since my divorce, a bit scary indeed.

Also I would suspect that thee will be a lot of G availability to Dubai initially since J is pretty much empty after the initial couple of days.

Have either of you two got your e-tickets yet? I'm still awaiting mine although it's over two weeks since I booked.

Nothing here yet. I guess it's because it's a new route [?]

April 15th. I know the details have been sent to whoever issues the etickets as there was a mistake in the original booking and when I called to rectify it they told me they had sent the details and were quite surprised that I had not yet received the eticket.

[mitchja]

I've just spoken to Premier Team and they say thee reason why I've not received my e-ticket yet is beacause when I made the booking, the DXB route/ticketing info had not been loaded into the e-ticketing system with it been a new route.

Premier Team have put a note through to ticketing to ask them to send me the e-ticket via snail-mail. My booking is confirmed though.

I thought it would be something like that.

Honey lamb, I guess you might want to also give them a call and get them to do the same for you.

Thanks for the heads up.

I called yesterday when making my booking for IAD and the Premier Team checked and found that the email had been sent but had been rejected by my ISP [:0] She has now directed it to be resent.
