Thanks all. We got picked up at 3am. There was a slight panic when we got to the motorway and found it closed! The driver seemed clueless at first about what to do, but eventually found an alternative route. So, we arrived at about 3.35.

I assume there is a separate business class check in somewhere? We ended up in the economy part, but it only took 5 minutes.

The flight was very lightly loaded, and we land at DXB on time.

Then had a very enjoyable flight to MRU. The aircraft was changed from a 777-300 to a 77W. I wish I'd upgraded, as there were only 3 in F. J was only about 30% full.

Now resident at the Four Seasons for a week. Boy, this place is nice
