Its fine at busy periods in my experience over the last month. Its when it's quiet that they start this whole bus fiasco.

I don't mind being collected at the aircraft exit in a bus and directly taken to A concourse if my first flight reached the C gate area. That's very good and saves time. (I have had this experience a few times and it was great)

What was annoying is going through the whole security check and then not being able to connect to B/A and then being sent in a small minibus to A and undergoing security checks again.( I was in Y but there were several J and F pax in the same bus).

This whole fiasco meant that my plan of going to the A lounge for a while didn't work (lost at least 30 minutes due to this mess) and I literally had to straight to the A1 gate where my flight was boarding. :-(


I am also going again via DXB next week (1st December) . I suspect that I will be connecting from A to C . Hopefully things will be better.
