Voici le dernier vol du routing qui me ramène à Paris CDG et marque la fin du voyage dont le résumé est accesible en cliquant sur le spolier juste en dessous.
At the begining of 2022, the return of the Covid and its omicron variant seems less terrible than we could have expected. However, many countries have tightened their entry conditions and quarantine is back on some destinations.
Among the “far” destinations, i find one where the entry requirements are not too harsh, proof of vaccination and a PCR test within 72 hours is enough to travel to Dubai. In addition, the city hosts the Dubai 2020 World Expo.
Once the destination has been find, it remains is to find a comfortable and not too expensive way to get there. As The solution will come from Google Flights where I find a round trip Paris Dubai in business for just over 1000€ sold by Lufthansa. The plus is, the flight from Frankfurt to Dubai is operated by 747-400. The return flight will be by Zurich and it is planned in Boeing 777. The flight from Paris to Frankfurt and the return from Zurich to Paris being more classic.
I share my discovery with some friends and I will have the pleasure of making the trip with the famous "Père Fouettard."
Here is a reminder of the routing.

I left you disembarking from my flight from DXB in front of the FIDS which indicates that my flight is scheduled on time and will leave from gate A65 in an hour.
At the airport
Gate A65 is close
ZRH wakes up, I love this airport
I head quietly towards the A doors lounge located on the mezzanine.
LX Business lounge
A cordial welcome once you have passed the automatic gate by scanning your BP, agents on duty greet newcomers. As the lounge does not seem to be very busy, I do not attempt to enter the SEN lounge with my AMEX card, especially since I am not sure that this advantage offered by LH exists with LX.
It's unusual to see this lounge so quiet.
And It is easy to find space,
The kitchen shared with the two lounges where you can order hot dishes.
The cocolate (swiss) box.
Such a good idea.
But too early for that.
Have a coffe.
So we have to move now.
To gate A65
Bird is on place.
The last passengers boarded, I will board too
Our neighbour.

The seat must be better here. To advise those who suffer so much on an LH flight…
Taxiing is quite fast, takeoff on runway 32 before turning quickly to the left.
We flight through the clouds.
Soon the tray is brought. But where are the truffle eggs and the Cristal Roederer?
The day dawns lazily on this winter morning.

Avec le zoom sur le départ et l'approche.
It's the end
Not too much traffic to get home, having been able to get enough sleep on the previous flight allowed me to be in good shape during the day and to go to work.
Thus ends a trip in very good companion and full of discoveries, first time for me in Dubai but not the last.
Thank you for making the trip with us and see you soon.
bonus
For the last bonus chapter, I offer you a stroll in the neighboring Emirate of Abu Dhabi with a must-see to start with, the Sheikh Zayed Mosque.
It's just splendid and the place has great serenity.
Direction then towards the city center and its Skyline.
The hotel Emirates Palace.
Inside is so beautiful too.
