I very much doubt it. I'd expect the aircraft to fill up at both ends of the route, not during the transit stop. I believe that this was the same at SIN too, the proportion of passengers who got off or joined at SIN was significantly lower than those who originated or terminated at SYD/MEL or LHR.
Give me a break. You can't actually be serious? If you go to Ireland, it's called an Irish breakfast, the ingredients are slightly different but it's still basically the same thing, same for Scotland. Call it a 'full' breakfast if it sounds better.
Should people stop serving 'French' toast now because that would be pandering to the French? Seriously......
I think if you look at the evidence of those going to London under the BA scheme 25% transferred to Europe flights. Under the Dubai arrangements at least the same would tranfers to continental Europe flights but from wat Joyce and EK are saying this is now far greater so say one-third. These seats are then filled up by conneting EK (South Asian) passengers in Dubai which EK has acknowledged and welcomed as it give it three A380s into London before 7.00am.
