Prices however are also excellent
Agree with you regarding frequency, but, the upside to that is that your are not circling above DXB for 30 minutes waiting for a slot to land...haha
I think given time, they will ramp up frequencies and be a proper contender to EK, currently the pricing is very competitive, as an example, some friends of mine purchased Y class from BHX to DXB last week flying today and the fare was 50p plus 250 GBP taxes. How long they can maintain fares that low is anyone's guess though.
