Sorry, was just following directions from my better half who as I said is not taking this lightly and is making me not think so straight 😬.

But to somewhat clarify, because Emirates has no issue flying to and from China, who is to say that Chinese citizens will not be joining on any of these flights (besides JFK-DXB) and will not be in DXB airport which we are spending time in during our layover both ways?

I realize that my reaction may be overkill and my fears have already been allayed in another thread that I posted in after this one, so never mind. Ignore me .
