While some variations are indeed questionable, this particular flight is bread and butter ME flying.
I just looked up EKs flight DXB-TRV for the 5th. Scheduled at 4:15 Block. TRV-DXB the 5th also 4:15 Block. So 8:30 total block if it was flown as a turn around.
Perhaps you were flying this route before the continents drifted further apart. (Jk I know they are the same continent)
I stand corrected on the turn around though. I know this used to be a turn around flight when I was at EK. These types of flights are the main reason I left.
