A couple of years ago?

A bus gate like that for a long-haul is pretty unusual though, it must be said. Ordinarily you would expect a B/C connection.

Because their entire business model is based on offering efficient 1-stop connections through DXB. That's how they have taken such a huge slice of the market.

I think average stage length is a big factor here too. So EK's will be much longer than the European airlines, but actually I would guess that LH's average stage length is shorter than BA's too,...

Preferring to walk/swim rather than pay for an inflight meal seems rather odd. A lot of people used to say that when the shorthaul flight revolution started, but I don't see many of them...
