Thanks guys!
This is maddening! I, too, called Emirates' recently and was told that it DID matter what flight I took from my origin and since there was a later flight which would still allow me to connect at DXB onto the same flight Dubai Connect was not an option.
The Terms and Conditions refer to the length of time spent at DXB and the first available onward flight. It was with this in mind that I chose my flights.
I am particularly aggrieved because as a Gold member travelling an enormous distance in F, I expect better treatment.
Should I simply ring again, hoping to speak with the same agent as "EK788"?!
