Overall it was a good flight with great service, however we paid for extra legroom only to find that the seat my husband was on was extremely small, it was the “window” seat. It seemed smaller than a regular seat so definitely not worth the amount we paid.

Buses crisscross the city and routes are easy to decipher. Routes are printed in both Arabic and English and discounted tickets offer unlimited travel on one or both sides of Dubai Creek.
