Well we're finally back.
<rant>Only one issue that relly is a complete crock. I hadn't told Lorraine what everything was that I had purchased. So she inadvertently packed a corkscrew into carry-on. To their credut Heathrow let it through understanding the mistake, however at Dubai, they confiscated it. Why a completed crock? Because both legs of the flights with Emirates we were served meals with metal cutlery, metal knife, metal fork, metal spoon. All implements that are infinitely more threatening and dangerous than a corkscrew. A knife can be used as a screwdriver to disassemble and assemble something, so surely that would be considerably more dangerous to allow passengers to have.
Then after getting off the plane at Dubai, they immediately put you through security. NFI why beause you just left a secured airplane from a secured airport area, the security people having no clue how to deal with disabled people, treating my things with complete disregard. Then prior to boarding they put you through another security check before you board the plane. So they let you buy things like water for the flight then confiscate it with no warning. Sorry Emirates, it is the last time I will ever waste money with your airline, you only got our money this time because of the Hong Kong problems. Take a leaf out of Singapore Airlines and Changi Airport. At least SA staff look like they enjoy their work, and Changi treat disabled people with respect, Emirates make you feel like a hindrance.</rant>
Anyway, it was an absolutely awesome holiday, we had no issues at all (aside from above), and we will look forward to our next holiday hopefully next year, not sure where yet.
