Dachlostar - glad you bought up this topic as I will be taking our 5 month old baby overseas next winter (for the european summer).
We are also flying to Dubai as we are flying Emirates. We decided its best if we stop in Dubai for 2 days and gather our strength before moving on to europe!! We have also not been to Dubai before so it will be nice to have a look.
I spoke to the people at Emirates and they do have baby capsules in the plane for passangers usage. They will also provide food if you need it but I will be bringing my own.
We plan to take turns with baby during the flight so each of us will be able to get some rest. Have some new toys to take along and also aim for an evening flight - I plan to feed baby as we take off because its reccomended for the ears popping etc and then hopefully baby will have a sleep.
How many hours is it to Dubai? I didnt even ask!!
