I've returned back
Hi folks,
Sorry, I couldn't stay longer in Dubai, had to come back due to some fresh work/s cropping-up @ Toronto. Thus, couldn't meet many of u -- had few with Biju though, & was updated with all the happenings around.
Kur & others who got their pps stamped/meds meanwhile -- CONGRATS!
I took Etihad this time (first time) & I must admit their service was splendid. I thus recommend this airline (alongwith KLM & BA) for ur landing/s.
-Long-haul, took 13.5-hrs.* Adh to YYZ (landed early though by 1-hr.),
-Inflight service was nice & the meals selection was wholesome,
-Express Bus Service from Dxb to Adh was smooth, 1.2-hrs.,
-We can check-in @ Chelsea Towers, Dxb itself (baggages taken care of @ Dubai),
-Price: AED-9810 for 1xAdult & 2xKids (one way),
-Had better leg-space (than BA, KLM has similar),
-Inboard entertainment selection is good & widespread,
-Cabin crew was extra courteous & helpful... felt good!
-Icing on the cake: We get 2x23-kgs. Check-in Baggage each!
My inbox is flooded... I might not be able to look @ them, regrets. I'd request those needing an/y urgent/explicit reply to kindly send me fresh PMs.
Qorax
*Remember, this is a long-haul flight & could be unsuitable for the kids. Mine got irksome midway. Ditto for smokers (like me) - in which case KLM via Schipol-Amsterdam is better, & tad cheaper too!
