Note, I receive over 70 emails daily of people “wanting to know a little bit more of Emirates”. DO NOT expect me to respond to these emails within a few minutes. I spent quite a heck of a time compiling the FAQ as well as the A to Z, for a reason. Please do take the time to read those as they are packed with useful information that would answer 48 of these emails. For the other 22 emails without an answer on the blog, I will do my best to answer them in a timely manner. Please be patient. The blog has the answer you are looking for. It is just a “search box” away from being delivered to you.

Including innovative and ambitious ones like Tydusil A.K.A. Sylvain…

Sylvain (an ambitious fan), Sabby (Editor of the fansite since I moved out to Dubai) have been [...] Continue Reading…

AAAAWWW Beijing, second time there (read about the 1st trip here). 6 hours there, 8 and a half to come back (it’s called variations right ?? Pilots : correct me if I’m wrong). I was blessed to have skipped reserve this month and awarded some pretty decent trips throughout the month. As you will probably recall, I was pretty sick and generally unhappy with my current situation back in December / November / October. Due mainly to sickness and [...] Continue Reading…

This is an answer to Adam (who hails from Canada… obviously !) who left this comment on one of the entries about the White Stripes :
“Do your research if you are going to write an article about this.
Iqualuit is absolutely not in Nova Scotia, nor is it anywhere near Nova Scotia. Nova Scotia is an eastern province of Canada.”
I am devastated and terribly sorry to have scratched your Canadian pride , please accept my full apologies. My geography knowledge [...] Continue Reading…

Armed police stormed a plane at Heathrow Airport last night after a security threat on board an Emirates flight to Dubai. Two men were handcuffed, arrested and dragged off the flight by officers wearing full body armour. One allegedly made a ‘verbal threat’ as the plane taxied towards the Terminal 3 runway. The comment was overheard by a fellow passenger and reported to the on-flight crew. Witnesses described the suspect as a white male. The flight, due to leave [...] Continue Reading…

So much to write about, so little time. I’ve been uber-busy these last few days. Rocking from one end of Dubai to the other, from one corner of the world to the other. It was New Years Eve and I didn’t have any plans at all up until late in the afternoon when Jonathan from Getin PR graciously offered to put us down on the guest list for Armin Van Buuren’s DJ set at the convention center, one of [...] Continue Reading…

I’m out in Dubai at this very moment rollin down the street, smokin indo, sippin on gin and juice… laid back with my mind on my money and my money on my mind… No not really but certainly having some wild antics.

Hey peeps. Here’s my January route map, I did bid for some Paris trips but to no avail. However I have some Brisbane shenanigans to look forward too (might even meetup with TrayTable and Girl On Tour/Raw at some point) so pretty happy about that. The highlight this month has got to be the Los Angeles layover and the Beijing trip. I’m also flying half of my trip with Ab-Initio batchmate Wassika, so that should be fun ! [...] Continue Reading…

Hola Habibtis,

I’m now all set to leave for Paris, France. 5 Days in the bitter cold of Continental Europe. Currently sitting at “The Hub” in Dubai International Airport. It’s filled with connecting zombies high on Carlsberg and Cigarettes. Yes, it’s the only [hidden] place in the airport, aside from the smoke room, where you can light one up without being fined. And it’s a good alternative for those in dire need of nicotine before or in between a [...] Continue Reading…
