What an amazing deal, I don't even want the miles, just to experience EK F. I'd pay the same for a Y positioning flight on RJ as I would for this.

EDIT: Can't seem to find any dates that work for me that actually connect through DXB. All the connecting flights push it up into the $2k range.

EK forum seems to indicate that this is dead. Way to get my hopes up, eightblack! Damn me for not realizing EK had a nonstop CMB-MLE hence the ridiculously low price before looking at the specific flights.
