This is no 5-minute process of a dollop of concealer and a quick application of mascara, but instead a laborious 7-step makeup procedure, which includes concealer and foundation among other cosmetic products.

This year has been rough for both airlines and the social media. But many of these events did not involve Emirates airline or its ground or flying crew.
United Airlines has received many complaints since the David Dao incident that happened in April when a passenger was brutally removed from the flight because of overbooking.
