We will take care of it” they said. “Don’t worry”, they said.

She gets to DXB and they want to take her to Le Meridien, off terminal. She cannot have a room at the International Airport Hotel. (It’s actually full now, so we can’t even get one ourselves).

So, as a J passenger who can’t leave the terminal, something that Emirates know full well, she is as I write sitting in one of the Biz lounges, for 22h. And to remind all you avid readers, she didn’t book 22 h of layover, she booked 4h.

Is there any wonder why We are just a bit miffed?
