You can say what you think when you think what you say.

I only flew then on a short non DOH route (GRU to EZE), had an excellent experience with them.

Don't laugh from a question...

 When I wear a cap and I have a beard will they all think that i am an Arab? Or they can see that I'm Jewish?

Sounds like a cool way to spend 15k Avios. You flew business?

Really wanted to, but was flying with two friends, and there was only one space in business, so we all flew in economy for 7,500. Not bad in Qatar economy at all.

Any opinions on an 18 year old traveling through AUH on EY in First or business?

No.

Is F or J full of Arabs? I just have the mind set that majority of passengers are Arabs and so to the passengers in the airport and therefor most people would be very uncomfortable.
Have you personally traveled through AUH alone?

Most passangers will probably NOT be Arabic, Ive flown through DXB with no issues whatsoever as have countless forum members...

Friend told me that for example DXB has QF,BA,EK etc... as a connecting city to get to Australia.On the other hand AUH only has EY and Virgin. Therefor DXB is much more like a connecting airport compared to AUH.
