Same thing happened to me. Arrived from GLA on EK26 at 7:40 on 8th October, on an airbridge in Terminal C. I was connecting to BKK on EK372 from terminal A. Followed signs and cleared security before entering departures C. Walked to the far end, expecting to walk through to B, and then take the train to A. However, the signs took me backwards through security in C. I asked a staff member and I said I think I must have taken the wrong route but he waved me back through security, and invited me to sit in a waiting area with other transfer passengers who needed to go to A. A very cramped mini bus collected us, drove us through what looked like the baggage hall, and deposited us at transfer security in A, where we had to go through security again.

On the return journey we arrived from HKT at around 03:00 22nd October on an air bridge in C again. We had some hours to wait for EK27 back to GLA. I was disappointed it was also leaving from C that day, as I had thought we could spend some time taking a walk to B. I was pleasantly surprised to find the route to walk to B completely open, although there was construction work. We walked to B, had breakfast and then returned to C for boarding.

I did wonder if I had got lost or taken the wrong route on outbound flight as it seemed a bit makeshift. Perhaps it is related to the construction work and the walkway is closed at certain times to allow works but open other times?

Be interesting to hear if anyone else has experienced this.

I'm going through DXB again on Wednesday night so will see if I land or depart from concourse C.
