An okay flight with Jet Airways from Dubai. Jet Airways deploys their Boeing 737 narrowbodies to fly to Dubai from India, Here is my review of the in-flight experience, including the JetScreen IFE.
The Ahlan Business Class lounge in the Dubai airport is one swanky lounge with a great food spread and lots of space. Though the best thing about this lounge is the enormous live Flightradar 24 screen. Check out all that this lounge has to offer inside!
