SPOT POLL

After the debacle of Heathrow's Terminal 5, how do you think the opening of T3 in Dubai will go?

Emirates have done all the tests and I'm confident it will be smooth and efficient.
I'm sure there will be the odd delayed flight but nothing serious.
Many flights will be delayed and baggage will be lost.
I've changed my flight plans because I don't want to be caught in the chaos.
