It is now over USD $1000 DXB-MLE.
The agreement with skywards and code share ended last year-- EK use to do the MLE-CMB route and then dropped it last year and only did one way CMB-MLE-(DXB) - so this is a return of the old route. And then added two frequencies to the two dyas which they didnt fly the direct early moring route- Wednesday and Friday.
Maybe I should positon to PEK - it would be a savings for sure!
