That's one of the reasons I've chosen the early MAN-DXB for my next trip (A330!!!). Gets into DXB at around 20:00, which should be quite civilised at that time.

The YYZ flight gets in at 735pm (or 635pm after March) and it is very civilized. I love it.

However if I am merely connecting in Dubai, unless I am going to India, the arrival time usually means a long transit wait.
