DXB Meet up

Shall we organise a Dubai meet up, so we can all enjoy each other's company in person? We do need a venue that serves alcohol, but apart from that everything works!

I will be sure to show off my IO tags for those jealous among us

I am not flying this weekend so suggest meeting Friday January 29, they do wonderful brunches in Dubai.

Gatherings are limited to 10 by the government so first come first serve!! Please post your availability below.

Seems a bit reckless in these times. And rather short notice. A meet up would be nice but given the demographics of the EK forum a few months notice has worked well in the past as a few people tend to fly in for the occasion.​

Agreed.

I'm interested but certainly won't be allowed to fly for at least another 9 months.

All this tough guy talk online, but not wanting to meet. Pretty weak!

A long time ago, when flying was still normal , I was going to propose that the CPT EK FT group (the usual suspects including you and me) plus some 'selected' others meet at the Dubai EXPO. So maybe, when the Expo eventually takes place, that would be a good occasion.

I'll be there!

And a CPT do would be good once things start to get back to normal.

We're going to splash out on a big trip later this year using all the money we've saved not going anywhere

Flying in on the 5th of Feb, assuming you (or anyone else) is around, I'd be happy to do a small scale meeting. Enjoy some drinks and stories.

Anyone in Dubai at the moment? Would love to ask some questions through PM on what its like and what to expect.
