Nice TR! Did you actually spend any time on the ground? What was the purpose of the trip?

Yes. Heavy metal.



You can't buy it anywhere, they only sell it in DXB.

Where did you get yours from?

I didn't buy an EK model... (see pic above).

But, since you asked:

I didn't say you can't buy other airline models, I was talking about EK which I was told is only being sold at the Emirates store in DXB.

Those Ebay sellers are apparently unauthorized resellers.

I never said I bought an EK model; not sure where you came up with that...

In any event, you're confused with the term reseller.

The licensee is Gemini Jets. Gemini Jets can, and does, manufacture, sell, and distribute EK model planes.

People, like me, can buy those jets from Gemini or any of the distributors, or second-hand sellers. None of which are "unauthorized."

DXB is far from the only place that EK Gemini model 200s are sold.

Don't really wanna go into a stupid back and forth here,  but how do you know that?

I haven't found any legit place selling EK planes.
And ebay is not  proof of anything.

And then:

I didn't say you can't buy other airline models, I was talking about EK which I was told is only being sold at the Emirates store in DXB.

Those Ebay sellers are apparently unauthorized resellers.

And, as for them being a licensee, they the reproduction licenses from airlines and aircraft manufacturers, and distribute to others who can sell them.

Asking me how I know that is asking me how I know one is supposed to go at green and stop at red.

Why not take 4 for the price of one?

Lucky wrote about flying JFK-MXP-DXB-BKK-HKG all on the A380 for 100k AS.

Though I'd rather sample a different aircraft than flying twice the same.

Are you gonna shower twice?  ;)
