You're right, DXB would have to be the toughest station to have this happen - due to its size. But if it was me, I would fax a one-page letter to every EK fax number I could find (customer affairs, the Gold Desk, the J class lounge, the airport manager etc etc), listing ticket no, seat no, date etc - You get the idea.

If the frames were expensive and replacing the glasses will be a pain, what have you got to lose? I bet they're sitting in a lost property box somewhere...but as time rolls on, your chance of retrieval will diminish.

I've found that persistence often wins. Especially with airlines.
