That's quite true.
In fact, biz class fares ex-Dubai to New York are a bargain by comparison with what Londoners have to pay out of Heathrow with BA.
I checked with ba.com for travel LHR-JFK in biz class for March 3 and returning March 7. BA's cheapest biz class fare is GBP3,583 which equates to Dhms 25,887.
And consider that the air mileage for Dubai-New York is twice that of London-New York
