This is wrong!
Passenger may also originate/terminate from/in Melbourne or Brisbane (connecting from/to trans-pacific QF services).

That's true forgot the 1-stop MXP. Still they could add to EWR without a hitch.

Actually, EWR is a slot restrictions. They won't be in EWR. They always delayed all the time. This is not a options.

Exactly.

Has anyone flown EK from BOS - DXB in business class? Which Lounge is Emirates using in Boston for first/business?

They're gonna us the VS lounge (invitation was printed on BP). But wasn't set up last week, so they were handing out refreshment vouchers for $25 for use at a choice of 3 restaurants. Said lounge access would be ready soon though, might already be.

Thanks for the tip, rahultodi. $25 voucher at a US airport restaurant is not very attractive... If they do start flying the A380, they definitely need to plan an Emirates lounge for Boston Logan!

It seems that EK is pulling out of the DXB CRK route early May. The flight has been pulled from the reservation systems.

Huge capacity increases to Manila airports by both Mid-East Carriers and the Filipino LCC's like Cebu Pacific and PAL Express.

Financially it was the worst performing route system-wide for the last 6 months. May coincides with the runway refurbishments where 20 aircraft will be parked at AUH and 20% of capacity will be cut back. Makes sense to axe it and free up the 777.

This decision actually surprises me. Lately this flight has been reflecting what EK's loads are at MNL, so it surprises me that they would decide to pull this flight. I guess this is down to the yields the flight was producing.

I so wish EK would add a 4th flight to MAA. The current flights are almost always at full load.
