Further to the comments in the previous thread, I note today that EK are
seeking a third daily service from Manchester to Dubai, with the option
being looked at of a 0600 arrival and a 0725 departure.
They are whipping QR's a.s with pax numbers, and I can't see RB eing to much

I was wondering if anybody could tell me what Airlines do trips from
London to Lisbon as the only flights to Portugal i have seen on

Hi all you travelers, I love to travel also. I met my wife in Costa
Rica! What a great place to go. I know it's sometimes hard to make
telephone calls from other countries. If you plan on traveling go to
