    hello all

    im hoping you can help me with some tips.
    i am stopping over in dubai for 3 hrs on a trip to india. both flights is with emirates.

    i assume since i booked it as connecting etc, i do not have to remove baggage and re load in dubai?

    also im flying into terminal 3 and flying out of same terminal, do i have to exit out of security and come back in or is there a section for people to skip sortof for connecting flights?

    thanks

    Your luggage will be checked through so no issue there.

    You'll go through security but it's pretty quick in Dubai. Terminal 3 is huge but you have loads of time. You may have to get a train between gates after you clear security but it's quick.

    They take euros but they'll give you change in dirhams. There are plenty of bars and restaurants

    Just get to the gates you're leaving from immediately and then you can relax.

    use a credit/debit card instead. no need to bring dirhams on holidays with you

    its a huge, safe terminal, with loads of shops.
    don't get caught with the earlier gate boarding time if you're flying on the airbus A380 (which you probably will be)
