I certainly hope you're right! Until recently (a couple months ago), I was regularly booking Saver fares that had a SFO-DXB (or DXB-SFO) leg on the weekend. In fact, it seemed like weekends was the only time I could get those fares. I've been booking these for the last few years.

I checked recently for Saver fares and I don't see any at all, on any day-of-week combination, for 3-6 weeks out, or even 3-6 months out. I'm hoping this all suddenly changes, and I'm just in a bad dream.
