I'm guessing IAD...;)
IAD - 2 ORD - 0 for now. I'm going to slap Tim Clark if he comes out with some wacko route like Boston. |
Boston is not all that wacko. It is definitely around the top of the list of future North American destinations. IAD, ORD, MIA and BOS is my top 4, in that order.

Another article suggesting IAD is next....
Emirates Looks to U.S. to Push Global Reach Updated March 11, 2012, 5:03 p.m. ET By DOUG CAMERON The Seattle flight joined existing U.S. services to New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth, with Washington, D.C., widely seen by observers as the next route, though Mr. Clark declined to comment beyond saying that an announcement on a seventh U.S. route was imminent. |
420/421 PER goes 77W from 31st March due to strong growth to the US and Africa.
They are also looking at A380 and 3rd Daily in the future. Also, EK will get 22 777s this year! |
Something Omani journalists know that we don't? :rolleyes:
Seattle became the sixth American destination to have Emirates’ non-stop or direct daily flight from Dubai. With at least two more daily direct flights expected to be commissioned this year Emirates plans to connect almost all major US cities and state capitals with direct flights from Dubai in the next two to three years. Washington DC and Chicago are the next two destinations where Emirates plans to have non-stop flights this year. |

I knew someone in J on DXB-SEA today and they said that 4/42 J seats were taken.
Does anyone have any insight as to how long it usually takes for an EK route to catch on/become profitable, and how this relates to the current performance of the Seattle flight? I really hope this route lasts! |
