BKK-CMB on EK
I felt sure that EK had a non stop BKK-CMB but I can't find such a service on the web-site. Was it discontinued or have I spaced out?
I'd like to use a non stop to save a side trip from DXB on an EK RTW ticket that I am contemplating purchasing.

But don't forget that EK has a stake in UL and has been part of their turnaround.

If worse comes to worse and you go to DXB, there is always Air Arabia for AED420 OW. There is a cheap bus from DXB to Sharjah; check www.airarabia.com.

Actually if you have to fly on UL, the service is actually better than EK's! Fares from BKK is cheaper on UL too than TG or CX. And since you're taking EK on a RTW, yo do know that their SKywards programme can earn miles on UL.

The only other carrier I know of on the BKK-CMB route is again CX though it's only four times weekly.
