Please report back and let us know for sure. Normally I have an airport change before my EK flights so I am not 100% sure but this is what I would be prepared for.
Not strictly correct, EK issues mobile BPs in many countries where document checks are required, it just beeps at the gate and they check there, happens to me every single time I fly out of CPT unless I check a bag and they do the doc check then
