Dry flights

Hi.

Does anyone know the complete list of EK flights which are dry of booze? I assume all the Saudi and Tehran services are dry and I was amazed flying into Male this was the case too. Anyone know about Kuwait and Khartoum?

Just thought this would be interesting to know aye.

The Emirates print timetable states:

Code:
Alcoholic* and soft drinks will be served free of charge in all classes of service

*except Dammam, Jeddah and Riyadh
Are you sure that the MLE flight was dry? I don't drink so I may be mistaken, but I am quite sure that my DXB-MLE flight had alcohol on board

Cheers

re:

Hi Sadiq; I flew DXB-MLE/MLE-CMB-SIN last year and thought it was a dry flight; but who knows. When I boarded in DXB I was offered a range of juices but maybe that was because it was 2am or something. When I got to Male they took off my booze and stored it and I definately remember not being able to buy duty free on the plane. So if it's only Saudi then that makes sense; amazed about IKA though.

I was served alcohol Dubai-Tehran and Dubai-Amman two years ago, so I don't think it's an issue.
