Arrived back in Dubai through DXB T1 and my jaw dropped to Australia, not a SINGLE person in sight in the whole terminal (other than passengers from my flight). Absolutely surreal. Seen busier airport terminals during peak COVID

T3 is the only relatively busy terminal. As only emirates + fly Dubai are operating fights consistently

I wonder if most passengers in T3 are just connecting or actually have Dubai as their final destination. T1 was super busy prior to those events as north of 60 foreign airlines use (well, used) it

Working for a senior who is beyond horrible. She talks to you like you’re stupid and makes it sound like you’re absolutely terrible at what you’re doing. She’s made 5 other associates cry during her 5 year career. Got someone fired and made another person quit. It’s known around the office that she can no longer have a female associate, because she talks down to females more than she does males. I came along and thought I could deal with it but she literally makes me want to not log on tomorrow.
