You know, I’ve never been to the Apollo but I hear great things about it – apparently it’s really funny. It’s a bit of a trek to 125th St. though. I actually can get pretty heavily discounted tickets to the show (and broadway shows as well) through work, I’d be happy to hook you up with some if you’d like!

Good luck on your recurrent training by the way, hope it went well!

I was aware that all LAX, SFO and IAH take the polar routes out of DXB. It just seemed strange that IAH would be longer, but I guess it is more south than the rest.

Thanks Arun ! I was planning on doing a night out at the Apollo theater for the amateur thingy they have running weekly. Because I would love to see that theater and the surprise guest. Have you been to any of those ?

Yes polar flights (LAX & SFO) equal the near polar flight (IAH). The reason behind IAH being as long as SFO or LAX is that IAH flight has to come down with the curve of earth a little earlier and therefore covers a longer distance… does that make sense ???

Hey dude, long time reader first time poster, and I gotta say, you have some blog going here – the layout is awesome, not to mention the ridiculous life you Emirates cabin crew lead! Always had a passion for airplanes/flying, and always wanted to try out being crew, so your blog has motivated me to apply for Emirates (if EK ever does start hiring again!).

Btw, congrats on your roster, the weather is now beautiful out here in NYC, hit me up if you ever want a local (well, not really but I live here now) to recommend cool stuff for you guys to do in NYC during the Spring!

The flights to IAH take as long as the flights to SFO & LAX???

DXB-LAX 16h35m LAX-DXB 15h55m
DXB-SFO 16h00m SFO-DXB 15h35m
DXB-IAH 16h20m IAH-DXB 14h55m

Now this is sheer heaven, to be up there for 16 hours and more

You should defiantly try hard to get a lax. Out of all the EK blogs I read nobody has written about lax. I would love to hear an Ek cabin crew’s perspective on my hometown.

Not yet, it’s Ultra Long Haul so I usually avoid it. But I’m desperado to be in LAX or SFO. Just to say I’ve been there and show off my pictures ! 17 hours stuck with pax cools you down a little though.
