Also Emirates has been pushing the Government to allow it to introduce night flights to LHR to increase its A380 service to 7 daily

Still believe a 3rd runway is the answer or Heathrow North at Northolt

I'd like to see some BA flights that arrive/leave at DXB at more convenient times.

At the moment, you either arrive at 7:30am, or 11:30pm which means you either waste the first night, or have to pay for an extra day or 1/2 day (depending on the mood of the reservations manager) in order to get an early check in, same thing with leaving, you either have to be up at silly o'clock in the morning to make the morning flight or check out of your hotel and hang around for hours before taking the 02:00am flight.

The other option is of course to pay for an extra night in the hotel, but at £300+ per night this is rather annoying.
