As per the rules this technically should not happen but I'm not complaining :)

I have a 7 hr 45 min layover on a Wednesday. From 2:05pm to 9:50pm.
I am in Economy (Y). Are there any freebies for such long transit for Y such as meals , transportation? Any Emirates shuttles that take us around or should i just hire a taxi and go around? According to advice in another thread, best to be back around 8:30? Are these Emirates Stopover plans any good for such a layover? http://www.emirates.com/english/dest...-stopover.aspx |

Stopover package seems like a waste considering you'd get about 4.5 hours of actual time to sleep at most. For less you can buy lounge access which for that length of layover I think is more suitable. |

You get a meal voucher for a transit >4hrs but they can be difficult to find. I've not had one in a while but I believe the connections desk can provide them or there is (used to be at least) a counter at gate A24 or A25.

STPC?
I have a trip coming up with Emirates flying business class that has a 9 hour overnight layover. I got the trip with awards miles. Do you know if Emirates offer STPC for awards ticket or only for revenue ticket only? Thank you for your help.

What is the routing? It depends if this is the fastest connection, also, is it an EK reward or from another partner?

It's ek 383 HKG - DXB 9 hrs overnight layover then ek 225 DXB - SFO. Partner award from AS miles. I don't think there's any faster connection to SFO.

Unfortunately not as per the new rules, as you have a better connection EK381 which arrives into DXB at 5:35 am which gives a connection time of around 4 hours to EK225.
I thought 'AS reward' would trigger an alarm on m3red's mobile but I guess he at the Bubbalicious :D |
