Are We All Sick Of Hearing About Emirates Yet?

Because I'm about to board an A380 flight from Dallas to Dubai.

I know, I know.

Between the luckiest irrops ever, the drunkest flight ever, the flight immediately following that one, flights with Papa Lucky, more flights with Papa Lucky, and flights with Mama Lucky, the Emirates first class experience is, shall we say, thoroughly covered here on One Mile At A Time.

Thoroughly.

And I don't even particularly like Dubai. It's basically a country-sized Ritz-Carlton. Which I don't find particularly nice either, really.

So why am I going?

List of airline surf baggage fees

Unfortunately surfboards are large and unwieldy, which makes them tricky for airlines to deal with; subsequently flying with a board can be an expensive and complicated affair, with various hidden costs and fees. Some airlines are straight up about their fees, while others present a pretty face but hide further terms away in the small […]

Emirates Lounge Los Angeles LAX Now Open

Earlier in the month Emirates opened their 37th worldwide lounge, at Tom Bradley International Terminal LAX.

The lounge is for their once daily A380 flight to Dubai, which departs in the early afternoon.

Emirates has a really interesting lounge strategy, in that they're one of the few airlines that seems to open lounges even at many of their once daily destinations so that they can best control the quality of their passenger experience.

While the Emirates First Class Lounge in the A380 Concourse at Dubai Airport is impressive, I've generally been less impressed by their outstation lounges, at least as a first class passenger.
