We're booked Australia to Uk in August and have one of these connect stopovers. I was wondering how it worked and you've answered all my questions. Great video. Thankyou.
No way! That is wonderful to hear. I am so glad this video was helpful. Let me know if you have any questions and hope you have a safe and lovely trip!
Hello! what a great video. thanks for the information. I want to ask, when we can apply for Dubai Connect via online? Is there any minimum day from departure day? and how to check if Iam eligible or not for Dubai Connect? because in your video, I am sure that I am Eligible but there is no button Dubai Connect in my Emirates account. Thank you
Hi thank you so much for watching and sorry for the delayed response. You can apply as soon as you’ve booked your ticket. No minimum day from departure. The apply for Dubai connect should automatically show up under manage my booking. Did you come right?
Hi! You don’t have to collect your checked luggage on a layover if you are flying with the same airline before and after the layover. :) They will put it through to your final destination. Have a great trip!!
Hi! a very nice video, thanks for the information. I am just wondering what you mean with 'single booking'? If I buy a ticket from Brussel to Japan, do I need to fill in Brussel - Dubai and Dubai - Japan or should I fill in Brussel - Japan? Thanks for your answer!
Hi! Sorry this response is probably too late. 😅 But nonetheless if someone else maybe has the same question as you in the future. Single booking meaning Brussels to Japan in your case. Need to fill in your starting destination and final destination. :)
Hello! You don’t need to pay anything. Your visa on arrival you should receive before 2 days before you fly via email. You need to email the email you will find on Dubai connect with a copy of your passport and photo to apply for the visa. But you do t need ti lay anything. Let me know if you have more questions and I hope you have a great trip!!
Hi was your flight with a 22 hour layover the shortest connection? I read online that Dubai Connects is only eligible if the stopover is the shortest one possible and it needs to be more than 6 hours
Hi! Thanks for the informative video! So if I'm flying to the US and taking 24 hours of layover, then i am eligible for dubai Connect to get all the free services?
Hey! You should be if there’s no earlier connections from Dubai airport to your destination with emirates. But it is also based on their discretion sometimes and you will only find out if eligible after booking. :/ If you are eligible they do the visa application for you. You just need to send your details to a specific email.
Yes, I think it’s only one meal voucher person (it is a buffet). But we went again for dinner after having breakfast earlier and the allowed us in again 🤷🏼♀️
Hi, I booked a flight with an 18 hour stopover but they said Im not eligible for Dubai connect since I haven't met the minimum fare. Have you came across this or know anyone who did?
@@KinfolkTravels Apparently there's a minimum fee of $1000 for you to be eligible, which is the reason they are giving. Guess all I can do is give a complaint and see what happens. But yeah thanks for the reply and great video!
@@dantom5232 I saw people speculate online about the $1000 minimum fee but our tickets were around $780 and economy. I don’t know if the amount of km maybe makes a difference to it cause it was two very long flights? Thank you for watching im glad you enjoyed it! Hope you manage to get it to work and that you will have the BEST trip!

Dubai is not expensive at all. It’s about the same as in New York City.
Hahahaha! 😂

Is there no acomodation/ bus to pick up or drop off us from/ to the airport if using Dubai connect??
Hi!
Yes, there is a bus that will take you to and from the airport to your accommodation for free.
The hotel is also included with Dubai’s Connect.
Can you get to chose what hotel to stay in dubai? What are the options?
Hi! You can’t chose your hotel, they will put you up in one of their 3 usual ones. But all 3 are nice and pretty much the same. :D
do we need pay anythiing at passport control or present some voucher for visa on arrival?
Hello!
You don’t need to pay anything.
Your visa on arrival you should receive before 2 days before you fly via email.
You need to email the email you will find on Dubai connect with a copy of your passport and photo to apply for the visa.

Hi! Yes, it was the shortest connection one :) if there’s earlier ones to that destination you won’t be eligible :)
Very good videos
Dankie! 🤗
Hi! Thanks for the informative video! So if I'm flying to the US and taking 24 hours of layover, then i am eligible for dubai Connect to get all the free services?
And do I need to apply for entry visa?
Hey! You should be if there’s no earlier connections from Dubai airport to your destination with emirates. But it is also based on their discretion sometimes and you will only find out if eligible after booking. :/
If you are eligible they do the visa application for you. You just need to send your details to a specific email.
you only get one meal included with the voucher??
Yes, I think it’s only one meal voucher person (it is a buffet). But we went again for dinner after having breakfast earlier and the allowed us in again 🤷🏼♀️
Do they give you one meal voucher for just one meal?
Hi!
Yes, the meal voucher is for one meal. We did use our same voucher for a 2nd meal and it worked. But that was just by luck I think ☺️
Is nol card is 1 day pass ? Gold? So it’s going to be 40 dirham each right? 10 dollars??
Hi! Our tickets were just a return trip to downtown and back.
Not sure what the price of a day pass is. :)
Ok 👍
hi，Is there a hairdryer in the hotel😊？
Hi! Sorry, I can’t remember but I think so.
Hi, I booked a flight with an 18 hour stopover but they said Im not eligible for Dubai connect since I haven't met the minimum fare. Have you came across this or know anyone who did?
Hi Dan!
I haven’t come across this; but it seems that there’s no stipulated general minimum fee and something you will only see when you are booking?

@@deepaklal5147did u have to register online for the Dubai Connect or is it automatic given your layover hours
What happens to the main language
Not sure I understand?
Hi, is possible for a friend to visit me at a Dubai connect hotel?
Hi! I don’t think they’d mind… anyone can enter or exit hotel. Just won’t be able to eat with you.
