Dubai is DXB or OMDB. I don't know where DBX is. There's some great Lebanese restaurants there, which have really great food at very reasonable prices. As well, if you get there, be sure to go to see the gold suk, as well as the spice suk. Both markets with lots and lots of stuff to buy. If you get to the gold suk, be sure to look for the shop with all the US Navy (ball) caps hanging around the window. That shop is owned by an Australian guy, who gives very good prices on his gold wares to airline guys, as can be evidenced by all the airline business cards he has under glass.

Great News
I agree konadog. These new routes will give the senior U.S. Air pilots something to fly after the cross-pollenation of seniority lists begins. Sure beats flying from Charlotte to Pittsburgh.
Y'all be careful in Moscow.

Gee sorry about the typo Wally.
Thank you though for the gold imput. I have spent way too much time in the area and agree, lots of gold and jewelry to buy.
