I hour transit at Dxb...same PNR. Doable?

[kpc]

There is a classic award bookable with Qf pts in Y for Lis to Dxb, then Dxb to Syd both on EK. arriving Dxb T3 and departing Dxb T3 with 1 hour transit at Dxb...would be on one PNR. Doable?, and I guess EK should protect if inbound late? This is for my daughter who is less travel savvy

They might make it but not sure about the bag.

Tough one...Y deboarding can take a while from an A380 or B777, boarding normally starts 20-40mins before departure. And you need to go through a central security point unlike in SIN. EK are good at putting staff at gates to collect passengers with tight connections.

As all on one ticket, I would do it as they will accommodate you on the next flight if missed. At worst, an 8-11 hr delay until next SYD flight and potentially a nice EU compo payout if delay missed due to late inbound flight. But I fly a lot and happy to run between flights and take what happens (and have lounge access). Would I book it for my daughter/wife with the added stress of a tight connection, probably not.

Touch and go
There will be security checks even if Int to Int transit
Flights will be protected - how old is MissKpc?

Not at issue as returning home to Sydney, and EK can deliver bag to home later.

I have done a 1 hour 15 min transit at Dxb before on Ek-EK, including changing terminal. Was travelling J, and was a bit stressful but made it easily. The next EK flight from Dxb to Syd is 19 hours later!

I can book a transit at Dxb of 21 hours but what is she going to do at Dxb for so long? Could book the T3 Transit hotel but that is not cheap....

2023 we were flying EK from SIN -DBX -FRA.The SIN flight was late and our 2hour transit turned into 40 minutes. Neither of us are that fast anymore. Had to change terminals and got held up at security in the second terminal. We still arrived at the next gate about 2 minutes before J pax boarded. the flight was on time. And our bags made it to FRA as well. I needed a couple of champagnes on boarding.
So it is doable with the big proviso that your first flight is on time. As the arrival and departure are both T3 it should be fine.

22 is fine IMO
If missed connection, EK will rebook

What to do if missed connection?
Take a guided tour from DXB into Dubai

Another option: Could fly her Lis-Doh-Adl on Qr with 2 hr transit in Doh using Va pts...then separate Adl-Syd ticket eg Qf
Will dw her
