Need advice travel through Dubai
I am going to be flying into Dubai through one of the American Airlines, and I need to transit in Dubai to catch a flight to Karachi.. I was thinking of going through Airblue to Karachi. How much time should I allocate coming into Dubai and then flying into KArachi. What should be the minimum transit time?
What about flying back (from Karachi -> Dubai -> US)
Thanks in advance

Welcome to FlyerTalk rogerbhai !
This is not a Budget Travel kind of a question, and we do have a dedicated Middle East forum with lots of discussion about Dubai.
In light of that I'm moving the thread there, so the experts will hopefully help you out.

I think you can complete transit for these airlines in the same terminal without having to clear immigration, provided you can check your luggage through. Your best option is to contact Air Blue and ask which carriers they have interline agreement with.
If not possible, and you have to handle as two seperate bookings, then I'd suggest you allow 4 hours. Of course, if your inbound flight is late, then there is not much you can do to save your connection.
