Subject: Post: The flight finally departed, two hours behind even the delayed departure time. Around 02:00 we arrived to Dubai and spent an additional hour or two waiting for the Flydubai provided hotel. Finally a guy from HolidayInn came to pick us up and we could have some sleep in the airport hotel. As the only positive event of the evening Flydubai had upgraded me to business class on the flight, so it was reasonably comfortable.In the morning we forced ourself up, to breakfast and to the city to see Dubai a bit. We only had a couple of hours and made the unfortunate choice to travel to Dubai Marina, which is an hour metro drive away from the airport. In our quest to find a viewpoint to see the famous man-made palm island from the above we ended up traveling up and down the lifts of a Hilton hotel before we were forced to head back towards the airport. Not the most useful city sightseeing trip.. Hilton sightseeing.Now the time has come for us to depart and find our flights home. Iryna departs from different terminal, so she started finding her way there and I searched for my own boarding gate. Unfortunately it looks like Flydubai only upgraded me on the flight from Colombo, not on this longer flight to Helsinki. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
