Who would have thought we would also get to Dubai on our Vietnam holiday? We certainly did not. It looked like a second holiday, an encore. And what a beautiful one it was going to be! Beautiful airplane, nicely dressed, very friendly stewardesses and stewards and a well organized journey (boarding). Excellent care concerning food and drinks on board. In short, an excellent and very comfortable flight. Anneke and I were seated next to each other on the flight to Dubai. We were told at departure that we would not be seated next to each other on our next flight, the one from Dubai to Amsterdam, but that it could be resolved over there on the spot, and that's exactly how it went. I sat at row 69 and Anneke at row 74, but after take off from Dubai Anneke could come and sit next to me. At Dubai Airport we were astonished by the many beautiful shops and waiting facilities for tourists. It looked all so luxurious. I pulled some more dollars from an ATM to be able to buy something to drink and to eat. It certainly was not cheap here. A cup of tea (6 USD) and a cup of coffee (8 USD). We could also compete to win a BMW. We just had to buy a ticket of 'only' 139 USD. We decided not to. We bought some Dubai souvenirs and went to a restaurant close to our gate before continuing our flight to Amsterdam. It was a very nice experience to have been at this airport.Read more
