Very interestingly narrated. My brother was also one of the trial passengers & he was called ‘Helen’. He had to remove his belt because the scanners kept beeping & they wouldn’t let him pass.
At least you got a decent white shirt. He brought a bright lipstick-red one. He enjoyed his ‘trip’. The only complain was: “If they went to all that trouble to make it as authentic as possible, why couldn’t they also make us ‘try’ the A380 & take us on a short trip to Kish Island!”
~ LOL at Helen! Oh yes, the security was really tight. I suppose they are under tremendous pressure. The lady officer took me inside a room, and had me remove my headscarf to make sure I wasn’t hiding anything there.
My exact sentiments! I was telling Hubby that they should’ve at least fly us off to Kish, to which he said, “Trips to Kish are banned already.” And yes, the white t-shirt is decent indeed. Perhaps your brother got the red bag, because our blue bag contained a blue t-shirt 🙂
Nice experience! Dubai seems to be full of these free stuff … is it true everyone is very rich there and government subsidizes everything?!
When we next go to Bangladesh maybe we will take a layover in Dubai.
~ Free stuff serves to lure the public into volunteering or buying something much expensive, hehe. Everyone is certainly not rich, not even half of the population. There are those who are filthy rich, but most of the residents are middle class people struggling with the increasing prices and rents. And no, the government doesn’t subsidize everything. I wish it would, considering this is a wealthy nation.
Make sure you visit between November and April, when the weather is pleasant 🙂
The trial at the new airport was a wonderful experience. I had a chance to walk through the airport and saw the latest technology used for the comfort of passengers. The elevators and escalators were found to be an attraction to the new airport.
~ Thanks for stopping by and sharing your T3 experience, Anil.
