Hey Tony!
Hope the ski-ing was good? Looking forward to meeting you too! Not long to go now! I have sent you a PM with my mobile number just incase you cant spot us on the day, which is highly unlikely as im sure we'll stick out like a sore thumb! Just look out for the loud talking airplane freaks!
Thanks,
Sarah
Just a quick update,
I am staying at the Al Bustan Rotana Hotel near the hotel, I am most likely arriving on EK511 at around 12:30 on Saturday.
I am up for both Ski Dubai and some shopping on Saturday, anyone up for either? I don't have a working cell phone in Dubai.
Cheers
Artur

Artur, i will have my mobile with me, will PM you the number. Feel free to call/come over when you have checked in, im sure James and I will be floating around the hotel.
James, Iain and I will be in DXB from the early morning on Saturday. I currently have no plans for Saturday, bar exploring the Burj, so am potentially up for Ski Dubai, although i am a complete novice when it comes to skiing!
Thanks,
Sarah

Well made to the LHR Clubhouse - what can I see other than WOW . Check-in was a nightmare, even J was at least 10 deep but the line did move pretty quickly. Y and W lines were snakeing up and down zone A [:0]. The other thing I noticed was that all my passport stamps were checked (apparently as I'm travelling to DXB). Security was not too bad, although fast-track was it's usual not-so-fast-track. I got the full monty though at MAN on my way down including having to take everything out of my bag and having everything explosive swabbed.
Just about to have some lunch here and busy exploring. CH is not too busy now several VS flights have been called.
Just waiting for the rest of the contingent now - promise I'll save some food and drink guys
Regards

Glad to see the contingent's first arrival has made it safely into the CH. No doubt you'll be joined shortly by the others.Hope you all have a great time.

May not apply to UK people but IIRC the UAE will not let people that have Isreal stamps and Isreal will not let people that have UAE stamps. Maybe this is why.
I dropped Sarah off at LHR about an hour ago, and J check-in was busy as their was only one agent checking in. Another arrived, but the original one is someone I have known since I started flying with Virgin, very helpful and usual high standards - apologised for the delay in an appropiate manner.
Hope you all have a good flight and time in DXB. Though I think mitchja will actually spend more time in the LHR Ch than in DXB
Thanks,
Richard

That is a bit cheeky of VS to ask a VS FC Au to change seats so that a 'zelebrity' can sit in it. Goodness sake! Don't forget to take M&M's.
Thanks,
Richard

""Who" Sarah??? Never heard of her. Hope you retorted with "Don't you know who I Am" LOL."
Looks like the LHR CH swim team champ will be in DXB tomorrow. Howard Long will be coming in from SYD and looks to be spending the night. Maybe party, round two?
After the Al-Muntaha I have booked a table for next week. I cant wait!!
[:?]Hmmm! I wonder if I should bring Aer John there next week. Do they serve burgers? [:w]
