Em only earns USA-lhr and return.

The flights are appearing on CO.com as CO Codeshares, so should earn full EQMs.

Also, IIRC, LHR-DXB does earn both EQM and RDM with EK.

Yeah it does. There is currently a bug that the CO.com people are looking into that keeps the actual mileage from showing up in certain markets (LHR-DXB, IAH-BZE, etc.).

P.S. - It is possible to get the $800 fare with a same day turn. (+2 days :p)

I stand corrected co.com says "connecting in lhr" not terminating

What? I have no real interest in DXB.

Alright, alright, maybe I'll spend a day there...

How many EQM's is the IAH-DXB via LHR?

AMF in NJ Mar 11, 2009 12:11 pm

Putting in my potential birthday dates, DXB is $300 cheaper than HKG but longer travel time, less miles, and less time on the ground. Plus, I'm sure it's still hotter than hell in November (as opposed to Dec. - Feb. where it's plain old hot).

On the March Madness front, DuPaul, who won precisely zero Big East games all season, actually upset Cincinnati yesterday for a win in the Big East tournament. And with 10 minutes remaining in the second half of today's game they were up by 6 points. Yeah, they eventually lost, but it was a good game to watch, and I don't even care about the teams.

That is something you'll never get in the pro leagues.

No, it is actually somewhat pleasant in November.

There is a chance I would not have to sit in Y on EK.

Don't they cut one of your butt-cheeks off if you get caught seat-poaching in the Middle East?

:p That's only on the RUH-DXB flights

Luckily I would not have to poach.
