Emirates Inaugurates Non-Stop Daily Service to Washington, D.C.

Looks like they want to pick up some of the business Qatar is getting from the Capitol area. More flights are good for us as nonrevs too! I personally liked Emirates when I flew on them.

Wow, with all the US destinations already in place, I'm really surprised they didn't have that a long time ago!

Concur. Hopefully it does well for them, even well enough to put a 380 on the route! :O
