EX Dubai cheap fares + Q
Firstly as many of you know ex DXB there are some very very cheap fares with both QR and CX. Even the direct DXB - HKG comes in around 1200£ on the CX website. Return in J
QR via DOH comes in return in J under 1000£ to HKG (with possibility of using CX on DOH - HKG)
My Q is very simple
-> If I fly return to BA LHR - DXB - LHR can I use this separate ticket to fly DXB - HKG - DXB in the middle of my trip. Is that OK on the visa rules for U.A.E. or does the entering and exiting of the country have to be on the same ticket?
Has anybody done this?
Thnks

If you're just travelling on a UK passport with a theoretical visa issued when you arrive at UAE immigration, then there will be no problem IME.

Thanks everybody
I'm pretty sure its OK as well just want confirmation
Has anybody actually done it? With these fares would have thought that a few TR had taken place....

Odd question. Lots of countries require you to have an onward ticket from the country but there is no such thing as a same ticket requirement. UAE is also straightforward if you are a non-visa national.

Swanhunter - one of the reasons I ask is that if you go on the CX website and book dxb - hkg there is a 'visa' sign that I have never seen before.. I just want to be sure but it does thankfully seem that its fine

The only issue I have ever had in the UAE is entering through AUH and leaving via DXB or vice versa. Apparently they have to manually move the entry record from one emirate to the other so the exit process can be completed. I have never had an issue with tickets / boarding passes.

I have flown to DOH with QR in between a LHR-DXB ticket with BA.
No issues whatsoever. My return from DOH>DXB (QR) was a few hours away from my DXB>LHR flight (BA), so I just had the luggage checked in all the way from DOH and transitted at DXB.
As long as your visa eligibility is fine, then I cannot see any issues.
