LAHORE – A diamond encrusted Emirates plane is making people go ‘wowwww’ or ‘what?’. But the truth is a little less interesting than that.

Here is the twist. According to Khaleej Times, Sara Shakeel is a crystal artist with a strong Instagram following of over 4.8 lakhs.
Ms Shakeel shared her artwork on Instagram on Tuesday, where it caught the airline’s eye. They liked it so much that they asked for her permission to repost it, and even upgraded her flight from Pakistan to Milan.
“We just posted an art piece made by crystal artist Sara Shakeel,” an Emirates spokesperson told Gulf News. “I can confirm it’s not real”
People were quick to jump to conclusions thinking this plane represents the extravagance of Dubai in the best way!
