Hello,

My friend from Turkey has a stop-over issue as well on EK from Istanbul to Rio (via Dubai).

STOPOVERS :
STOPOVERS
4 STOPOVERS PERMITTED ON THE PRICING UNIT
LIMITED TO 2 FREE AND 2 AT USD 75.00 EACH.
NONE IN DXB.

No stopovers are allowed in Dubai. If he purchases a multi-city ticket forcing the system to create a 3-5 day stopover in Dubai to visit me, the price changes from 1100 to 14000 US$.

Is this a new policy with Emirates?
