Review: Lunch At At.mosphere Burj Khalifa Dubai

I've been to Dubai more times than I can count, but I've never actually been to the top of the Burj Khalifa, which is the tallest building in the world. I can't say I was ever really that interested in going to the top, given that Dubai doesn't have all that impressive of a skyline aside from the Burj Khalifa. So it's not like being in a building "above" New York City or Hong Kong or London, for example.

That being said, this was a very special trip, and I wanted to go to the top of the Burj Khalifa with my dad. There are two ticket options for visiting the observation decks at the top of the Burj Khalifa:

-- At The Top (124th floor): 125-200AED (~35-55USD) per person depending on the time of day

-- At The Top Sky (148th floor) 500AED (~135USD) per person

Ode to a bus driver

Sometimes, good men are hard to find. Not because they are so very rare, but because they go about in disguise.

Delta Will Overcharge You For Awards: Their Pricing Engine Is Still Very, Very Broken

Jeffrey R. emails his frustration with an ongoing Delta award booking issue — that Skymiles simply prices awards incorrectly and it’s nearly impossible to get an agent to fix matters. I’ve written for years about this issue, that some connections that are both (a) legal/permissible and (b) have award availability will not price at the […]
