While I understand they'll do their best to reaccomodate me, if there's no F availability on future flights, I may be out of luck if there's a delay.
Two hours will be enough. Especially if you arrive and depart from the same concourse. They will not bend backwards to help you make the connection, but as an F passenger you should get an escort on arrival into DXB to your next flight gate or the lounge as long as you are a transfer passenger. I’ve never had an issue with re-accommodation, even on separate tickets, but YMMV.
Not sure if it is important to you, but the F lounges are nice (if a bit cavernous and impersonal) but I like to eat off the a la carte menu there to break the monotony of the on-board menus, so a longer connection is comfortable.
