Luggage checked through? - EK metal on QF ticket

Disclaimer: I haven't tried this exact approach before, so please excuse any novice questions.


Hi everyone

I'm planning a trip to LHR using a QF ticket on EK metal. When searching for a return flight, the only option available departs at an inconvenient time and includes a tight 1 hour 10 minute connection in DXB.

I believe I can find a better itinerary by using the Multi-City search feature, booking MEL → DXB and then DXB → LHR on separate dates.

My question: If I book this technically multi-city route, will my checked baggage be transferred all the way through to LHR, or will I need to collect and recheck it in DXB?

Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Yes EK will check your bags through

By the way, EK405 is operated by a B777 so it may be a 2-3-2 configuration in Business class - I'd prefer the earlier EK407 on an A380

Thank you for your incredibly prompt help.
Thank you more so for the B777 tip - best avoided I think (even if it means an early departure)

EK405 will have the new business class from 30MAR.
