BA has just added a new Dubai rotation between 8/12 and 8/1.
WIDE OPEN for Avios seats over Christmas and New Year at the time of writing.

The A380 is also now showing in the timetable from early December.

Fingers crossed for tomorrow (doubt it) as I fly back. Flying from T1, do BA passengers get directed to a third party lounge?
BTW if anyone is travelling to Dubai in the next few months, the Expo is well worth the entry fee.

And the German pavilion was our favorite; just because of the swing action at the end.
The VR experience at the EK pavilion is also worth a try (you need to pre book your entry though)

Agree, the Expo is much better than expected. Have a look at the mobility pavilion.

that said I hear many tourists also visit in the evenings as different pavilions have different events. The water display is much better in the evening. A day pass is 20aed, its not much at all.

You can do a good chunk of it in a day. But given how big it is the challenge is walking across the place in the midday heat. Brutal, especially with the mask mandate.

We have an AVIOS CW return booking for 2 to DXB we are unlikely to take in late Jan as we have another booking to somewhere else that was until Monday on the red list. Once we are sure the other booking is happening we will release it. I'm sure we are not the only ones with parallel bookings so keep an eye out!
