I'm never doing that again. Even in F.

Since I probably won't have anyone to pick up the tab to fly EK this time, I'll probably be flying UA .
I came back DXB-IAH in EK F (J reward op-upped). 16 hours and I enjoyed every minute. But since CO/UA and EK parted ways that's not gonna happen again.

Why IAH over LAX?
