Y-tix to MLE from some places are relatively 'cheap' now.
For instance: PEK-DXB-MLE RT/all-in is 4000RMB, which is just over 400EUR.
That's by far the cheapest fare you will find in this market.
BTW: what's the deal with the former partnership of EK and UL???
Are they now competing with each other on CMB-MLE, or are they still codesharing??
And didn't Jazeera use to also have direct flights from DXB?
