Connecting from EK to RJ in DXB - need to collect bags

[RSD]

Due to the issues I'm having with the QF Multi-City booking engine it looks like I'm going to have to change from EK to RJ in DXB to get to CAI instead of flying EK on to CAI direct - dammit. Does anyone know what the situation is when changing from EK to RJ in DXB - need to collect bags? Can stay in the transit area and not need to clear customs etc? I can see that this is going to be damn awful - but the multi-city search engine isn't allowing any other option other than change to RJ to fly the DXB-CAI leg - via AMM!

Can’t you try your luck with the call centre and get them to book the DXB-CAI leg on EK?
RJ flies out of T1 so if you have to collect bags you will need to change terminals

Even the call centre can't book me on the EK leg - its damn hopeless at the moment!

According to Our partner airlines and railways | Emirates United Kingdom, Emirates has an interline agreement with RJ, so as long as you're on one ticket, I believe your bags should make it all the way though.

Cheers! In the end I managed to figure out a way to avoid needing to use RJ - but it is good to see that at least the airlines can work together over there!
