They have vending machines between the seats? Weird.

I'll bet it costs a bit more than flying Southwest Airlines. :)

BA has the same type seats, but it looks like Emirates has bigger screens.

They have a very small route. Essentially it's Dubai to NYC, GB, Australia and NZ.

They are flying to Dubai afterall, so $10k sounds about right.

10,000 is not right. Thats just too expensive. Plan ahead and get great fares.

Most people dont wind up paying that, though.
