Mr Trump had a meeting a day or so ago with the chiefs of the American airlines,

who had complained about the expansion of the Gulf airlines in America,mainly the Emirates,who,the Americans claim, are subsidised to the tune of 50 billion[I presume US $].The Emirates have denied the accusation.Any subsidy is unfair and it may or may not be true. But having recently experienced the most wonderful Emirates flight,I know the airline has an excellent product and I pray nothing will happen to change that. People I have spoken to who travel economy are just as impressed with the Emirates as I am travelling first class. The Emirates airline had been founded by an English businessman Maurice Flanagan in 1985,making Dubai the headquarters,thus putting the city and the Emirate of Dubai on the global map. Having just visited Dubai for the very first time,when driving from the airport to the Atlantis,The Palm hotel,[the hotel should have been  booked for me but Imagine Cruising did not do so,failed me miserably and took no responsibility], I was astonished to see some very innovative buildings,everything is being made big and bigger still.That the Burj Khalifa at 830 m the tallest building in the world is in Dubai? Well,where else? Dubai's hotel rooms have been rated the second most expensive in the world,after Geneva.This does not surprise me.I do not know where in the rank of cleanliness they stand.[ The cleanest rooms are in Japan, then Warshaw ,third place has Bratislava ].Having spent three nights in room 4045 at The One and Only The Mirage,I can vouch for the spotlessness in the first degree.I,who always cleans out all drawers before putting anything inside [as I did on Monday last on the Vision of the Seas] can confirm,that having passed a tissue inside one drawer in this beautiful room,I knew I would never have to do it again on any subsequent visits [and I do very much hope to return]. The hotel is immaculate.The white towels as soft as a baby's bottom,the toiletries of the finest quality.I give the breakfast joined first place with the Bauer in Venice and the Thermia Palace in a spa town Piestany, in Slovakia.The fresh fruit,every last morsel sweet and juicy as the first [ as good as in New York],freshly pressed orange juice as - nowhere,really.The best ever.And the aroma! Bread and rolls taken out of the oven in front of my very eyes. And the service! Cold drinks handed out by the pool together with ice cold towels,then fruit on a stick.I have stayed at some excellent five star hotels,but nowhere has the service equalled that of The One and Only The Mirage in Dubai.
