So, I think that if someone has a 1hr connection as per this thread and they miss the connection, then surely Emirates has to sort them out for free.

It was due to stupendous stupidity on my part, but the airline rebooked me for free. I'm guessing that the 90 minutes for Dubai is intended to cover passengers who have to go to another terminal. Guessing.
