Thanks for the replies, its good to know that i will be put up in a hotel if i miss my plane. I have transitted through DXB before but both times my plane disembarked at a remote stand and it seemed like an age to get to the terminal and then to get through security but hopefully with the new terminal things will be eaiser and quicker this time. I am on the 09:40 flight out of DXB so thats why i reckon i will have a long wait untill the next plane.
