Yes. I arrive at 9:45pm from HKG on the non-stop and then getting on the BA flight which now, due to a schedule change, leaves at 3am. So actually, I have 5:15 in DXB. After getting through customs and immmigration I should have about 2 and a half to 3 hours to see the sights. That gets me back in plenty of time to check-in and use the lounge.

BTW, the transit hotel is so outrageously overpriced that I am not even going to consider that as an option. Its $45 an hour. Nice rooms, but Id rather see the city than sleep .

Does customs and immigration go any faster for F pax??
