Is 1 hour 10 minutes sufficient to transit in Dubai airport arriving from Johannesburg and departing to Standsted UK?
Arrival time at Dubai on EK766 on 7/5/2019 is 08.20 and departure to London Standsted EK33 is at 09.30 on the same day. I am 73 years old and I would think that I would need assistance? Can this be arranged and if so how?
Best Answer
Yes. If it's all on one-ticket then Emirates will take care of it, it's their problem/issue. Also note emirates pad their connection times anyway, but if the connection becomes tight they will send a rep to the gate to meet passengers for tight connections. If it becomes really tight (due to late departure of first flight) ask a cabin member to ask ground services to send a golf cart so you aren't being made to run with the rep. Many Emirates flight pairs have tight connection sometimes as little as 45 minutes and it all works out.

Some international airports have a minimum connecting time as low as 30 minutes. But usually, when traveling internationally, the MCT is at least an hour. It can go up to 2 hours in large airports requiring a change of terminal.Is 1 hour transit enough?
If the airline is offering it, chances are it's enough for most people. That said, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to tell that it leaves little room for delays and that the risk of missing your connection is higher than if you leave, say, 2 or 3 hours to connect.Transit Problem Solution || 100% Hassel free || In Bangla || DUBAI Airport
