DXB-Dubai

I saw reports that Kuwait airport was bombed a few hours ago, which made me wonder how Dubai airport is still operating normally. From what I understand, the strikes happened relatively close to Dubai as well, yet flights there don’t seem to be heavily disrupted. Is there...

I honestly can’t understand why the government decided to reopen DXB during an active conflict. It feels extremely risky and reckless. There are reports of interceptions happening near aircraft, and all it would take is one mistake for thousands of people to die instantly. That...

Just flew Frankfurt → Dubai → Bangkok with Emirates and the trip was surprisingly normal despite all the recent news. Check-in in Frankfurt opened about 4 hours before departure, no special procedures and no real queues. The Frankfurt to Dubai flight was very empty, maybe around...

I have a Wizz Air flight from Bucharest to Dubai on March 14 and with everything going on right now I’m a bit nervous it might get cancelled. If they cancel the flight, do they refund the full amount automatically? And what about my hotel in Dubai? It’s non refundable, so I’m...

We’re Canadian citizens flying Toronto to Mumbai with a 19 hour layover in Dubai. Arriving on Air Canada and connecting to Emirates. Are we allowed to exit the airport during that layover and come back later to check in? Traveling with a toddler and an infant so just want to be...

Trying to figure out lounge access rules at DXB. If I arrive in Dubai on a Business Flex Plus ticket that I upgraded to First using miles, but then depart on a Business Flex Plus flight that doesn’t even have a First cabin… would I still be able to use the First Class Lounge?...

Looking for some advice before booking. I’m planning to fly Emirates from Kolkata to Barcelona and the best option has a 1 hour 15 minute layover in Dubai. The alternative is a 19 hour layover, which sounds rough. I’ll be traveling with my 5 year old. I know the Kolkata to Dubai...

DXB transfers between T2 and T3 aren’t fun, but Emirates does this all day long. If it’s on one ticket, they wouldn’t sell it if it was impossible. Arriving early helps, but I wouldn’t count on it. At check in, definitely tell them about the short connection. Sometimes they’ll...

First time on Emirates this April from IAD to DXB and I booked the Business Special fare. Trying to figure out if I can pay for lounge access at IAD or DXB since it’s not included. Also not sure how available those paid spots usually are. And with seat selection only opening at...

Did DFW–DXB–BOM this week and the two flights felt like night and day. The DFW–DXB leg was great, the newer 777 with the 1-2-1 layout, really attentive crew, everything smooth. Dubai layover wasn’t amazing though. The lounge was weirdly hot and the food was just okay. Then...

I’m working on a platform to make the Korean used car export process simpler and more transparent and would love some input from folks already in the import/export side. Curious what draws buyers to Korean cars is it mainly pricing, model selection, or reliability? And what’s...

My wife and I are flying Emirates business into Dubai (T3) and then connecting to Istanbul on FlyDubai from T2. We’d love to take a quick shower in the Emirates lounge when we land, but we’ll also need to collect our bags and recheck them for the next flight. Anyone know if we...

I’m planning a 5 day trip to Dubai with kids. What places were a let down that I should avoid? The kids love activities and aren’t too keen on plain sightseeing.
