Didn't want to start another thread...But a friend of mine has a 8 hour transit in DXB in a few days ( LHR -DXB -DEL)

He is planning to check in luggage all.the way to DEL at LHR and leave the airport ( British passport holder so no pre arranged visa needed) and do some shopping at the Dubai Mall

Will EK allow additional.luggage to be checked in while in transit at DXB ( if its still within the overall allowance )
