Hi Goldorak, thanks for this. I called EK and they said I need to take a test in France for some reason, and they wouldn't accept a UK test. So this is my only option.
This is utter non-sense. A test is a test. As long as it complies with UAE timing requirements for arrival in DXB, there is no valid reason to reject it
Do you know if these guys give you a fit-to-fly certificate?
not sure what you mean by "fit to fly". The certificate you will have will be for sure OK to fly.
