Is over 200,000 Skywards miles to upgrade from Y Flex to J for both legs DXB-PTY-DXB!
Shows how useless Skywards miles are as it takes a long time to get 200,000+.
In 2015, I did not receive any Miles Accelerator bonuses... are these becoming harder to come by? I never get offered them...
I will just stay awake for 18-24 hours before each flight and then hopefully sleep 75% of each leg.
I will try and upgrade my return leg not sure I will get my balance to 200,000+ for the outward as well...

Whole place engulfed in 20 seconds and everyone getting out do not seem to go together.
Not trying to doubt what your friend said, but sometimes things get slightly out of whack.
Glad folks are okay, and yes, that was some scary stuff.

What was engulfed initially was the aluminium cladding on the outside - hence rapid flames going up the building so quickly, but the structure is still sound: however, internally, there was still time to evacuate properly.
