> Dubai to SFO is also a possible route

Is there really that much premium traffic between Dubai and the Bay Area?

The Middle East (was) a pretty common stopover for India flights, since India's not that well connected to the US due to a lack of capacity.

A couple of searches suggests only Emirates operate a direct route between SFO and Dubain, so it wouldn't seem so.

		Emirates just dominates long-haul flights to Dubai overall. Other (mostly flag carrier) airlines handle other airports in the region. Qatar Airways through Doha is also a big player in flights between the US/Europe and Asia.

I think the more interesting question is /will/ there be that much premium traffic ongoing

Honestly not so much in my experience. It was busy, but mostly because of Emirates longhauls. Dubai to NYC and back is extremely busy though.
