A weird thing about the flight ... Somehow you can use a mobile phone whilst in flight! Assuming you can squeeze the phone out of your pocket once you sit down of course!!
Oh well, we're on the way. Dubai Airport is lovely. But it's not as huge as we thought - there are several levels but not all of them seem to be occupied.
In the terminal we asked for directions to the next leg of our flight and the cute customer service lady said "Terminal A3 ... Wait, I will show you." She stepped back from the counter, stood to attention, bent her right arm from the elbow so it was perpendicular to her body, and then simply said "That way." No such thing as finger pointing (or indeed customer service) here! ...
We went for a few walks to get some exercise before the next 7 hour leg of the flight. The travel seems interminable!
The airport is very different, Alex was looking for a restroom and meandered over to where it had "Male" and "Female", but these turned out to be little in-airport segregated mosques (prayer rooms)! Very different and therefore fun. We're looking forward to our two day stopover here on the way back.
Prices for food seem pretty good, the UED is about 3:1 to the AUD and a muffin and coffee cost around AUD$10, very comparable. This was at Starbucks, which looked to have a pretty dominant presence here.
Frappuccino at Starbucks, Dubai Airport for someone called "Elex" ... "Anyone here called Elex?"
Alex finds a like minded friend (note camel in background)! Which looks more chocolatey???
