    Dubai is really the only country in the gulf that is open to tourism.
    Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Yemen etc, you need a sponsored visa to enter, its only available to business people or workers or in SA case for the Hajj.

    So i think you can forget about going to Kuwait to have a look around.

    I would go to Baghdad. provided the museum treasures are returned, the history of Iraq/Mesopatania is of immense importance to western civilization, I for one would love to see some of the antiquities.

    star in my opinion is way to big now. we know they dominate the market, but the bigger you are the harder you fall.

    also the service tends to lack when you have a group that big.

    best place to sit is on the wing, its always a good idea to have a window seat if your motion sick, look out the window and watch the hoirzon, motion sickness is caused by the conflict between the bodies sense of vision and and sense of equilibrium, it tends to worsen during turbulence. you have to keep your eyes on a nonmoving object. like the horizon etc.

    I’m not trying to be flippant, although my style of writing can sometimes appear that way. All I meant was that CX can probably tough it out on the sorts of losses you mention, for quite a few months yet.

    no offence was taken!

    just letting you know that they have thought of groundiing due to the situation.

    if the situation wasnt as bad then grouding the fleet would never have been raised, but it was and that speaks volumes.

    Seriously, I think CX has a good cash pile though. They should cope for a while yet, until the hysteria dies down. Then it will be time for a media offensive and a big TV campaign all over the world!

    do you have any idea of what i costs to run an airline?

    they are losing nearly 200$million dollars a month. yes a month!

    two months in a row would see it nearly $500million lost. not to mention that $5million a day could very soon be 7 or 10$ million dollars a day.

    SARS will be controlled, but I think they are just starting to realise it can’t be eliminated. It will be around permanantly, and that’s OK as long as the medical profession how to prevent and treat infection. The hysteria will die out soon enough. And then China should be made to pay 😡

    it actually seems like the virus originated in HK SAR.

    reports suggest it mutated in a housing block in HK.

    “We forecast that the number of passengers could fall to less than 6,000 per day in May, in which case we will have to consider grounding the entire passenger fleet,” Nick Rhodes, Cathay’s director of flight operations, said in an internal memo.

    you cant run an airline on 6000 people per day.

    cathay is in very serious trouble. the reason for this is purely because ppl are not willing to fly through HK.

    thats why other Asian carriers have not been hit as hard.
