Emirates New Terminal

[Fireman Sam 336]

Hi, if anybody uses Emirates as their airline of choice as I do, here are a couple of Video's one showing the new terminal at Dubai and the other the new business class lounge.

 

Suppose to open later this year sometime.

Hi eyedot,

 

Good to hear from you.

 

Not sure if the new terminal will be open for your trip, they have not announced an opening date just yet was supposed to be mid 2008. Can't be any worse than the opening of terminal 5 in London.

 

I am out on 6th September back on the 2nd October, will be staying in Nakhon Phanom as usual so will probably miss you in Pattaya. After this trip will be Gold Card with Emirates. Still managing 5 trips a year.

 

I have been looking for a Digital SLR for a while now as well, I am finding that ebay is just as competitive price wise than Dubai duty free, thinking of a Canon 450.

 

I'm fine, still loved up, am in the process of buying land and then building a house in Nakhon Phanom, hopefully starting at the end of the year.

 

PS if you want any up to date info on Ah, send me a PM.

 

Regards

Fireman Sam

I wouldn't bother buying a camera "Duty Free" in Dubai. The price they quoted me for a Nikon D300 was higher than what I would've paid for one in the UK.

 

My advice would be to get one duty free in the UK, you might be able to have one ordered for you to collect at the airport when you fly out. Alternatively you could buy a Nikon in Thailand and claim the duty back when you return home.
