[quote=Anonymous][quote=penguinsix]We are flying Hong Kong back to Washington for a few weeks of vacation. Options are:

HKG-Dubai-IAD (Emirates)
HKG-Seoul-IAD (KAL)
HKG-Narita-O'Hare-IAD (UAL)
HKG-Paris-IAD (AF)
HKG-London-IAD (BA)

While I'd love business on this flight, it's a personal trip and I've got six passengers so it's business class vs. say buying a new car :-)

Of the options, KAL and Emirates are basically the same price when you factor in taxes. All the flights list the same ticket price, but when you add up the taxes it gets a bit insane. Routing through Paris would add nearly $4,500 USD in taxes and fees and routing through London would add almost $6,000 in taxes and fees. UAL would have a domestic leg and the agents are telling us we might get hit with some baggage fees at some point in the game. Plus the fact United sucks.

Glad to hear people like Emirates. [b]We were planning to stopover in Dubai for a few days and explore, but changed our mind after reading the temperature is about 115f and our trip falls in the middle of Ramadan, which would mean a few restrictions on tourists and some places might be closed during the day.[/b][/quote]

You could always visit the mall that has a ski slope inside lol.  Or one of the many other thousands of air-conditioned malls the desperate residents retreat to.  Dubai is probably one of my least favorite places in the world.[/quote]
