Picture Emirates Skyriders booklet from my childhood

Found this recently, brought back a lot of memories. Adding a couple more photos in the Comments, including my logged flights. It was so cool when the flight attendant would take it up to the cockpit for the pilot to sign.

Emirates in the late 90s was such a vibe, even though I was young I remember it distinctly.

Haven't had an opportunity to fly Emirates since, I hope to again one day soon!!

Help Needed Advice for cabin class - travelling with infant

2 Upvotes

Hi! I’m travelling in December with my husband and a baby who will be around 4 months old. we’ve never travelled with an infant before and I’m a little nervous and want to make it as smooth as possible

We are moving to Dubai so we’ll just need 1 way tickets.

Flight is around 7 hours and these are the pricing options (all in gbp, totals, 1 way)

Economy Flex 1150gbp
Expnomy Flex plus 1850gbp

Premium economy 2400gbp

Business 6500gbp

I’m currently thinking PE as would welcome a little more space, obviously business would be ideal but it does feel expensive for a 7h flight. It’s not out of the realms of what we can afford if you all think it’s the best option, but we aren’t in a financial situation where we can toss 7k a flight without wincing/ thinking about it very carefully.

We would probably need to buy extra baggage anyway - PE gives 35kg each for the adults (not sure what it gives for the infant) but I would probably buy an extra 30 regardless.

I can’t seem to find the prices for extra baggage online, does anyone know how it works? Route is London to dxb.

Looking for advice on cabin class and also if anyone has tips on infant travel or experiences on emirates with infant travel I would be really grateful.

Many thanks in advance!

Edit: just to add, I’ve never travelled PE before, only economy and once business (for business). So if someone thinks the added comfort of PEisn’t worth it over economy then please do let me know!

Help Needed Visa question for parents during 8 hour layover

0 Upvotes

Hi,

My parents are Indian nationals and USA Greencard holders, and will have a 8 hour layover from 7:30pm to 4:30am next month. They want to see the Burj Khalifa and the surrounding mall.

I'm aware there is a 48 hour pre-arranged VISA, but I am unsure of one clause.

Clause 4 states:

A confirmed hotel reservation for the duration of your stay in the UAE or a valid tenancy contract with your family member’s name (father, mother, brother or sister) if staying with them on your visit.

---

They will not be staying in a hotel though. Is there another way I'm missing?

Thank you.

Help Needed Need Recommendation: Should I choose seats 52A/B or 54D/E or 52K/J or keep current 67D/E? Will be traveling with a 18 month toddler.

Flying on an Emirates A380 with our 18-month-old and currently have seats 67D and E.

Would row 52 or 54 offer any meaningful advantage over 67 in terms of legroom, space for a toddler or overall comfort?

Help Needed Cash upgrade estimate SYD-DXB (PE to Business)

0 Upvotes

Flying Emirates premium economy from Sydney to Dubai using Qantas points. I am looking to understand what would be the cost of a cash upgrade to Business Class?

Also, is it cheaper to upgrade at Baggage Drop / Check-In Gate or when inside the plane?

Edit: almost a week to go and can see 20+ business seats empty.
