I think a weekend trip to Muscat - by all accounts a really excellent city break destination - from DXB is a perfectly reasonable thing to do for a Dubai resident, not sure where it's implied it's a mileage run...?
To lose half of it through delays is annoying and that's compounded by poor handling, but planes going tech is a bit of a fluid situation so it's difficult to be anything but sanguine about it - it happens.
