First day of our travels, left Cehegin at 5.45 am. For Alicante Airport. Short one hour flight and then 3 hour layover before connection with our Emirates Flight to Dubai. First time for Lesley on an A380 in Business Class, see the photos attached. Not allowed by Vueling to check luggage from Alicante all the way to Dubai, so on arrival in Barcelona had to leave airside, pick up luggage and then check in again after one hour day outside. Thought Air Travel was all joined up now, apparently not if you fly Vueling !! Emirates EK0186 to Dubai, simply fantastic, Service was great and we got to Dubai early. Picked up by Emirates Chauffer Drive and dropped off at the hotel at 0130
