All,

I am travelling Houston to Bangalore on 2nd April. I leave on 2nd from Houston and get into Dubai on 3rd around 6:45 pm. My flight to Bangalore is at 3:30 am on 4th April, which means that there is close to 9 hours lay over at Dubai. I plan to come out of the airport and go back before my Bangalore flight at 1:30 am. I have two bags that I would like to checkin at Houston and would be leaving the bags at Dubai. Since my ticket is all the way to Bangalore, will I be able to collect the bags at Dubai and re-checkin with only hand baggage on the flight to Bangalore? I called up EK and they were not quite sure since my layover is less than 24 hours?

Can someone please advise?
