It was an eight hour flight from Bangkok, because we were going via Mumbai. The flight was pleasant although not as good as the other business class flights. We arrived to a very warm 32 degrees (at 11pm!) which was very pleasant, although I guess it will be sweltering tomorrow in the daytime. Splashed out on these last couple of days in Dubai and booked a nice room in a nice hotel. Nice limousine transfer from the airport (which was very modern and tidy) to the hotel. Imagine us with jeans and T-shirts and small backpacks on with sandals tied to them! The other guests were wearing shirts and jackets and had "proper" luggage. We had a rather pompous couple looking down at us as we reached the check-in desk before them. That's when we had the last laugh when we were directed to the Executive check-in desk and they were all left queuing. Shame they couldn't see us sat down with our complimentary welcome drinks relaxing while being checked in!
All joking aside the room is great and there is lots of complimentary items: Fast internet (although our VOIP Skype is actually illegal in Dubai!?!?), Hermes toiletries, free breakfast in the "Club lounge", free afternoon tea, free canapes and evening drinks at happy hour, etc.
Well, we have to make the most of these last few days of our honeymoon, as it won't be long before we hit the ground at Heathrow with a bump!
