Emirates Is Dishing Out Free Ice Cream
The sorbet hits different when it's free, you're at DXB, and it's 47 degrees outside. Summer at DXB hits hard. Emirates knows it. So instead of just offering legroom and hot towels, they're wheeling out ice cream carts. From June 6th to July 20th, passengers flying out of Terminal 3 get treated to a free scoop every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.

But let's be honest—you're here for the scoop.
