I wrote a whole post for this that was eaten by the foreign-wifi-iPhone blogging monster. Given that i was tired and perhaps delirious, I will consider it a divine editorial decision and count my blessings.
The first leg of the trip went off perfectly. No traffic to the airport, breezed through check-in and security, boarded and departed on-time, and a smooth flight. A 12 hour flight on a full plane is no joke, and thankfully neither was the service. We flew coach on an Emirates 777. Roomy, comfortable seats, good food, and extensive entertainment options. Hundreds of movies and TV shows to choose from, music and podcasts, and games all on a good size screen. None of that satellite feed garbage that always seems to lose signal at pivotal moments (and doesn't pause when the pilot decides to play emcee) that plagues domestic flights.
Long flights are a perfect opportunity to watch movies you might have considered watching but were unwilling to pay for and/or force on your partner. With that in mind I watched Surrogates, Daybreakers, The Wolfman, and Book of Eli, none of which I particularly recommend but which passed the time nicely. Mia opted for It's Complicated (recommended) and Leap Year (utter dreck).
Now in Dubai with three hours to kill.
