I'm thinking this will be the year Canada will open up. Upgage YYZ to a daily A380 and daily 777 to YVR, YYC and YUL.

I wish Emirates offers a better family Skywards program & lets me pool 100% skywards points of my family members into one account (just like BA Avios).

I was hoping if they start DXB-PHX nonstop by operated 77LR aircraft. Fingers crossed.

I don't know if this is off topic, but FZ is rumoured to start Dubrovnik high summer season service in 2018.

I'd think that there should definitely be enough of a market for 3-weekly or even daily, given the size of some of the other non-connecting markets EK flies to.

the EK/FZ tie up of course means a lot and I would probably expect to see that "tie up" increasing.
.I was just stating what I heard from a direct source in Sharjah.I was especially surprised to hear SIN mentioned.
Air Arabia(the part of it that is based at SHJ) is of course a separate company at different airport than those two in Dubai.

FZ should fly to Berlin since Emirates won't be allowed.

Or EK could operate a 'subsidary' called 'EKCityLink' and fly to BER. Demand to BER is quite weak - so EK could use a 737max with their 777 J cabin and 'old' F cabin.

Or a 787. Berlin will garner a lot of North eastern Germany, especially if HAM is dropped. I don't see them dropping any if their current German destinations to be honest
