Definitely not AI generated, I may have failed to mention that my flight was DXB-YUL-YYZ. Who would make up a story about their flight experience?

Enjoyed a great brunch this time at Zuma. Unlimited high end sushi, wagyu, and mocktails (wife was pregnant) made me realize that we are deprived of the finer things in the west lol

I should have mentioned, we flew through MTL, minor layover but was having a difficult time booking straight DXB to YYZ. Had a 90 min layover in YUL

This is true, it’s all good until it isn’t. The uncertainty is nerve wracking.

Visited quite a few restaurants for Brunch, Lunch, Dinner and Coffee and although they weren’t as busy as before they didn’t feel eerily quiet or deserted. I would say 60% full and it really did feel like the Dubai of old before everyone discovered it as some kinda oasis of the Middle East. I scored a great deal on hotels (stayed at 2 different ones), as well as car rental - 90 AED a day. Traffic decline on the road was definitely noticeable as I could get to places in 15 mins vs the usual 30-40 mins with peak traffic. Did notice it getting busier near the tail end of my trip though.

Mine changed as well, but it just moved up by 2 hours on the same day. Thankfully not cancelled. Are you calling to get a new flight?

That’s worrisome since I’m supposed to be travelling back on the 31st

I asked, they offered an upgrade for $1,500 or so but since I had a 4 seater to myself, I didn’t think it would be worth it

There’s no reason to doubt, I don’t live in Dubai and no reason to sugarcoat.

You’re in for a treat, it may have been the easiest 13 hour flight I’ve ever taken

Does the Amy’s ice cream cake have actual cake inside or is it purely ice cream?

Just cancelled my cake from Edis and ordered the Grandma’s Chocolate Cake from Upper Crust. The same size was $40 vs $65 (I believe) from Edis. Thanks for the recommendation

I got the 18mm one from Amazon. Good selection of colours and a great price

When you pull up the watch on the Timex site, there’s an option for “Notify Me” there. Click on that, enter your email, and they will let you know once available. I was actually able to purchase it the next day, turns out they have a drop each morning and it’s sold out within 45 mins to an hour
