The new space also includes innovative tech and NBA-branded merchandise. At self-service screens, customers can research flights and availability. The airline’s latest NBA collection includes team jerseys, model aircraft, a basketball, and more. The new store follows the airline’s launching of retail spaces in Nairobi, Dubai, Hong Kong, and London, with even more set to join in the future. That’ll represent an investment of AED 100 million in the next three years.

Bar, Person, Candle

London does not need another rooftop bar. The city has them stacked on top of skyscrapers, tucked behind hotel lobbies, and squeezed onto buildings where you'd swear there isn't room for a bar, let alone a view. So when a new one claims to be worth your evening, it has some convincing to do.
