I fully agree with the aircraft availability. I can see ORD but no other American cities in the coming years. LAS will simply not past considering that flying there would have negative connotations that a carrier from a predominantly Muslim-nation is espousing gambling. If you can't even hold hands or kiss someone of the opposite sex in a public place in Dubai, I doubt that the nation would ever allow EK to fly to a city that is aptly named "Sin City."
