I rattled through DXB last night with a (planned) 85 minute connection.
As it happened though, ATC delay at LHR resulted in a bit of time in holding pattern before touchdown, with EK002 finally arriving @ 45 mins late.
DXB is carnage at this time of the morning, but with a bit of speedwalking and careful selection of x-ray queue at transfer security, i arrived at my gate and joined the last few folk boarding. We then sat on that plane for another 40 mins before leaving for KWI.
I guess that coming through DXB during busy periods, you can be pretty sure that, with so many connections being made, your departing flight will be leaving late.
