The Match Seats were reserved, flights booked and I was off to London Heathrow with Emirates in First Class.
I chose EK029 this time instead of EK 01. This allowed me more time in the Lounge and I was the only passenger in First Class!
The Outbound Flight was on 6th June and the return on 20th June.
