Looking at the terms and conditions it appears people may receive targeted offers too:
6. Miles Upgrade promotional offers may be personalised depending on the logged-in Emirates Skywards member’s profile.

Hey folks,
anybody happen to have noticed the price of the Bose QC 35 series 2 headphones at Dubai duty free?
Not sure if DXB duty free would be cheaper than world duty free in LHR, or if the high street is just the cheapest.
if anyone has bought a pair recently from DXB duty free, would love to know the price.
many thanks.

There are AED 1,049 (GBP 222) on the Dubai Duty Free website. Also available in the UAE (e.g. noon.com) for AED 1,099.

£199 at T5. I haven't found Dubai Duty Free to be that cheap anymore, I was comparing whiskey and it was similar price at T5 (cheaper by couple of £ at T5, though that's down to the exchange rate on the day)

I find the new Bose 700 headphones, are far too slack on my head, and just not as comfortable as the older 35 series 2

New Airline..
Now that not only Tim Clark but also Willie Walsh is retiring, we might soon see a new airline. I have had one suggestion for the name: Tim Willie Air.

A crew friend of mine who is often on bar duty tells me that lounge pax have this irresistible urge to blurt out what they do for a living, unprompted. "I'm Vice President of Widgets, you know?"

But, weak as I am, I found a 3am visit to the bar on a 7 hour flight a bit too fatiguing, So I had the Dom in my seat instead. Said servant insisted on several top ups.

Are they still serving that swill that they call tonic water onboard? It's called "Evervess"... each class of service has excellent gin and this stuff ruins it.
Thinking about taking my own tonic syrup onboard next time.. I already bring my own vermouth for martinis.
