But no, instead I've got to fly via an airport that has been universally voted as having taken the Black Hole of Calcutta's crown for grottiest dump known to man, (and apparently Abu Dhabi airport is almost as bad!) somehow cram all my belongings into a 3.5kg luggage allowance and then sit looking out of the window for 31 hours because the inflight entertainment consisted of one middle aged flight attendant holding up a book and flicking through it, whilst I'm sitting snacking on something that has the taste and nutritious qualities of the contents of a cat litter tray.
At least this way I might be pleasantly surprised!

There have been adverts for them on the sky channels - cant recall which one I'm afraid but it does claim they have been voted the best airline - now whether that is by people held at gun point or by those being told its the only way they will get out of Abu Dabi airport by giving a good review or genuinely they are very good I'm not sure but their advet is pretty swish.
