I'm trying to book EY skywards from TLV to MLE and EY won't let me do it (at least online). Then I noticed that they don't allow the Tlv-DXB leg to be booked with skywards.

Am I doing something wrong?

EK or EY?
Assuming EK, is that segment operated by EK or by FlyDubai?
About a month ago I was having an issue booking an EK award, and I was able to do it on the phone.

EK, sorry.
How much did you end up paying?

I feel noticeably less fatigued and dried out after a long-haul on a 787 than on a 777.
Just boarded, but the shoulder belt on the 787-8 + super narrow aisle is a big minus

Just need the shoulder belt for takeoff/landing.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

The narrow aisles on the 787 and the A350 make them feel cramped IMHO.

I guess that was the only way of forcing the airlines not to squeeze in another row of seats like they did with the 777.

Switerland is easy to get to, either Geneva or Zurich, and they have a great train network that gets you from the airport to any ski place.
