I've got flights coming up and wonder if anyone can shed specific light on transiting the connections at IAH.
Outbound we fly into IAH on DL, and then connect onto EK. I'm assuming we have to go to domestic baggage claim and then take a bus landside over to the international terminal and then re-check in to EK? I know DL and EK don't interline, so I'm assuming DL can't check bags through.

On the return, we land on EK and then connect to a UA flight - so on this one though we have to clear immigration with our bags, they should be checked through in DXB all the way because of the UA/EK partnership, correct?
