Day 1.

The Emirates Volvo Estate outside our flat ready for the ride to Dubai Airport. I had gotten back from an early morning run at 5:45am, had a quick shower and had just gotten dressed when the driver arrived at 6:05am and quite a bit earlier than the 6:30am time I had booked! Luckily I was ready to go though, and after a quick goodbye to Rianda and a last minute check that I had everything I was off to the airport.


Following another Emirates Volvo down Sheik Zayed Road. The primary purpose of this trip was to attend a conference for work so I was fortunate to be flying business class today.


And at the Business Class check-in area at Terminal 3. My flight to Toronto had only been booked three days prior and there unfortunately were no window seats available when I selected my seat online. I enquired about the faint possibily of a window seat at check-in but today's flight was 100% full and I was out of luck.


My flights for this trip were on two different airlines, flying 4 segments:

Day 1: Flying Emirates Airline (EK) from Dubai to Toronto (DXB-YYZ).
Day 3: Flying Air Canada (AC) from Toronto to Québec City (YYZ-YQB).
Day 11: Air Canada (AC) from Ottawa to Toronto (YOW-YYZ).
Flying Emirates Airline (EK) from Toronto to Dubai (YYZ-DXB).
