Emirates First Class to Amman

At around T-50, we headed out for Gate A18.

And then it dawned on us... oh yeah, A18.  Bus Gate.

Downstairs, a pleasant EK agent check our boarding passes and passports.

And the Bus Gate holding pen where we were asked to wait for the First Class bus.

Yeah, if you have to bus it to your plane, this will work. 

We boarded thru 2L.

Passing thru the mini-J cabin on our way to First.

Very nice, but it's no New First.  OK, how quickly do we get spoiled.

Nevertheless, service today was flawless, as I settled in for our 3 hour flight.

And decided to watch Indiana Jones and the The Crusade, mostly for the Petra scenes at the end of the movie.

Nice pics of Dubai with the usual haze.

Since it was morning in Dubai, I started with a Bloody Mary.

And showtime, Emirates style.

My Koussa mfarakeh was very good.

Our descent and approach to AMM.

The old plane graveyard right at the airport.

We  paid $30 for VIP Arrival services and it was well worth it as first timers here.  Our amiable Meet & Greeter guided us thru visa purchase and passport control. 

And then handed us off to our funny and borderline crazy driver for the day, Maher.
