Emirates responds to latest weather warning – this is your sign

Another day, another weather warning.  If you’re still battling sideways rain and rain-drenched clothes – consider this your sign.  While Ireland braces itself for yet more wet weather, it’s no wonder that the national conversation has shifted to holidays and blue skies.

  1. Dubai – fly direct from Dublin to sunny, cosmopolitan Dubai, where it’s a beautifully sunny 26o
