There is a 00:30 flight available for me which departs after them, but this only gives me 65 minutes at DXB to disembark, possibly endure a bus journey, go through security again and the possibility of taking the train to my gate or a lengthy walk between B and C gates. Is that time at all possible to make connection considering the gates close 45 minutes prior to departure?
Otherwise i’ll have to say my goodbyes at Tokyo Station before making my way to Narita for the 22:00 flight instead.
Thanks
EK offers you that connection so yes..it "should" be ok. Obviously they have enormous experience with connections at DXB both with passengers and luggage.
however if you feel extra secure with taking the NRT flight then take that.
HND is much nearer and cheaper to get to from Tokyo than NRT.
I'd risk going for the HND flight if I was light on hand luggage and could get quickly to the transfer gate.
