Thanks for your reply.
It's more than 8hrs (8h15min).
There's a later flight from CDG but this would only give 1h10 connection time which is why the option doesn't appear on the website when trying to make a new reservation I guess?
Also when searching for DXB-MCT flights on the emirates website, there's an Oman air one departing slightly earlier, but this wouldn't change the problem by much (would probably make it worse), and we would rather fly Emirates (and stay in the same terminal at dxb).
I guess the best solution would be to try and get a hotel from them then?

I shall do that. I have doubts though due to the fare condition (tickets are saver), but we'll see what they say.

As an aside, the 1h10m connection is possible if the flights are on time if you want to ask the call center about that.

Just to update, I called them. At first they told me I wasn't eligible (as per computer, because saver fare) and offered alternative flight solutions (unsuitable), but then they called me back and were able to book Dubai connect. Spoke to a very nice and understanding customer rep. Thanks for your help flyer talk forum , and Emirates customer service too

It seems to vary by route and not have a published chart based on the wording here.

Prior to that I recall a uniform US $1,000 being mentioned, but no idea when any change was made, or how reliable the original information was.

Hi
Is the J class chauffeur pickup service available for all legs on the flight?
Im thinking SIN-LHR-DXB-SIN (stopover in DXB)
So will they pick me up in SIN, to/from LHR, to/from DXB and from SIN?
Thanks!

Yes - you should get the chauffeur at each stage. You may have to phone to confirm the DXB car, as there have been a couple of recent reports saying that it's not been possible to book online.

I'm going to travel with my wife.
I have some miles and my wife also (but less)
Can we book ticket for us using miles?
But: some miles (e.g. 75% of the total miles required) would be from my account, and some miles (e.g. 25% of total miles required) would be from my wife's account?
(or the only option is to transfer miles between account - which is very expensive way to use them....)
