    The Emirates First Experience - What to Expect?

    We've done that twice, arriving in evening, stay in airport hotel, fly 10 am. Went to F lounge for dinner and breakfast without issues. YMMV.

    Remember that every MRI on "elderly people" will find a host of issues. Whether they actually cause any physical pain etc or are abnormal is to be debated with a sane specialist who doesn't want to overservice. :) And I'm not touching the coconut!
