it is via Dubai, costs £5,500 per person in economy and only one of the legs (outbound, Dubai to JFK) is on the Airbus and the rest on other planes?!

They spent half the Arsenal V FC Twente game the other night flashing "FLY TO NY WITH ON THE NEW A380 WITH EMIRATES" on the pitchside hoarding advertising.

Err
no thanks!!

because they are trying desperately to recoup the money spent on a football team who are already looking dodgy at the start of the season?

This at a 4-0 drubbing btw

I guess because if they advertised it with your opening comment then they'd probably get less interest!

lol

maybe they think gooners are poncy and will only want to go to NY and not Dubai for their shopping?

I can see CD's ad campaign now!

"Fly Emirates! We're expensive and don't even go where you want! Fly Emirates now!"

well with this you can go to both tbh

Stopover in Dubai
Then NY

All for this bargain price
