Then later that day, also on Emirates:
Dubai to Glasgow - dep 14.45.

Can anyone confirm that I will definitely be able to check my hold baggage all the way through from Cape Town to Glasgow - so that I can safely book into the airside hotel at Dubai with just my hand-luggage?

Second question - does Dubai still have the facility to check baggage in and go airside 24 hours before departure.

I can't find confirmation of either on the Emirates website.

Anxiety is around *having* to emerge and collect my baggage at Dubai - then not being able to check back in again till 3 hours before the second flight.

Thanks in advance!
