Quick transfer from Concourse B to Concourse A for connecting flight [duplicate]

I and my wife (both aged above 60) will be flying from Dallas to Kolkata through Dubai airport. EK 222 will probably arrive at Concourse B and the connecting flight EK 572 will leave from Concourse A--both in Terminal 3. But I have only 1 hour to board the connecting flight.

Please give me step by step directions to reach the departing gate very quickly.

By the way, may I use e-boarding pass facility to quicken the process ?

Thanks in advance.

This is a legal connection, but extremely tight. See https://www.aviateworld.com/news/airline-news/emirates-reduces-flight-connection-time-in-dubai/

I would reach out to the airline directly and ask for help and advise, especially if one of you happens to be not as mobile as you used to be.

The emirates web site actually states (under the heading "Inside Emirates Terminal 3" ) https://www.emirates.com/english/before-you-fly/dubai-international-airport/emirates-terminal-3/finding-your-way.aspx

If you are connecting to another flight within 75 minutes, a dedicated team of people will escort you to your gate to make sure you board your next flight in time.

I would contact the airline and verify that you will get help and what exactly the help will do for you.

Do I have to check in twice for connecting flights?

In most cases, you'll receive your boarding pass for your connecting flight already when you check in for your first flight. This means you don't have to check in again for your next flight. If you haven't received it, you can go to the transfer desk or kiosk of the airline you're flying with to collect it.

Is 1 hour 30 minutes enough for connecting flights?

The recommended layover time for international flights is generally longer, as you will have to go through customs and immigration before boarding your next flight. In most cases, a 30-minute layover for domestic flights and an hour for international flights is considered a minimum, or short, layover.

Is transfer same as connecting flight?

Passengers who have a stopover of under 24 hours anywhere between the starting point and final destination of their journey and then board a connecting flight with the same or a different airline are referred to as transfer passengers.

How long does it take to transfer between flights?

Domestic are usually 30-60 minutes. International will be longer due to immigration/customs requirements. Larger, congested airports will require a longer time than a small airport.
