KQ Fare (not including tax) 1925 USD
Fare Basis ZLRT1YHK
On LHR-DXB, EK is the same price as BA and VS (within 100 USD or so, and depending on availability) but both BA and VS offer far superior products.

When Z is available, sure, it's cheap. The EK fare was available up until the day of departure, and was not Z. The KQ Z fare was gone weeks before. As for the LHR-DXB fares . . . like PT Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute.
