We're both flying on:
23/06/2011 LX242 - ZRH-DXB - 12:45-20:50 - F
27/06/2011 LH631 - DXB-FRA - 01:45-06:20 - F

(We'll be at the LH FCL/FCT in both directions: from 0520-1025 on the outbound and from 0620-1305 on the return. Would love to meet up with anyone else who might be there.)

Hotel is still TBD.

Sounds like a very cool activity. Do you have a link to the tour you were looking at? The one I see is http://www.arabiahorizons.com/Hot-Air-Balloon-Fly/ and goes for $273/person, which is a bit steep for me...

Edit: Looks like the hot air balloon companies don't run in June due to the weather (or the lack of tourists). Bummer.
