I sincerely hope that the Pxs who suffered medical emergencies in episodes 3, 4 & 5 had good travel insurance. If not they (or their next of kin) may be in for a terrible shock.
Think Im joking take a look at Emirates T&C of carriage:
7.6 Passenger reimbursement of medical expenses
If you are taken ill aboard the aircraft due to a condition pre-existing the flight (regardless of whether or not you were aware of it) or due to your pregnancy, you will pay to us the cost of expenses paid by us in treating you aboard an aircraft, transporting you on the ground, or paying for treatment provided by a third party. You will also pay any costs we have incurred in diverting an aircraft to seek medical assistance if you have contravened Articles 7.3, or 7.4 or 7.5.

I don't remember a sick person being asked to reimburse a diversion cost, unless a risk was knowingly taken (like this pregnant Chinese lady who lied about his pregnancy to give birth in the US).
Now, I wouldn't be surprised having to pay for the EMS cost. Out of curiosity, I would be interested by knowing what is the cost range (of course, it depends on what was consumed). Is any intervention charged, or is it included in DXB running costs ?

KHI is Karachi, Pakistan.
HYD is Hyderabad, India.

Perhaps she's in a position that would be less interesting to viewers?

Was quite confused as to why DWC was being shown at Concourse D.
Thought it was an advertisement type thing so didn't say about it.
Can anyone say for sure that it was DWC though?
Aside from this, usually one day after the air date in Australia, the episode shows up online and/or on torrents. Now there's no sign of Episode 7, even though it aired yesterday (18th Nov).

The sequence showed the construction project manager (name?) walking around the gate area at concourse D right before the text on the monitor was shown, so I'm confident that it was filmed at concourse D and the text was just some random text they put in. Still funny, though.
In season 2, an airplane "magically" moved between concourse B and C during maintenance (see the season 2 thread), so anything can happen...
Since concourse D is delayed, will the guy be around for season 4?

E7: I was dissappointed when the ground staff gave in to PAX demanding an upgrade to first class because they were delayed 6 hours. They didn't get the upgrade to F but got offered JCL lounge access to shut them up. That kind of behviour shouldn't be rewarded IMHO.

Usually after the air date in AU, the episodes show up online.
There's no sign of E07 and E08.
Anyone in Australia seen them already?
There is no Nat Geo in Pakistan and even if there was, Ultimate Airport S3 would air way later than AU and other countries.
