How strict are Emirates about checking baggage late

Hi, first of all, sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section. Feel free to move it if there is somewhere better. It just seems like the section where I'm most likely to get any help.

So tomorrow i'm flying LIS-DXB at 18:00.

The problem is my train doesn't arrive in Lisbon until 16:22, this leaves me 8 minutes to taxi to the airport and check in my luggage (It should take about 7 minutes, but clearly I won't get to check in before 16:30) I have already completed check in online and printed my boarding pass, just need to check in 1 bag.

Does anyone know what will happen if I'm say 10 minutes late for the 90 minute deadline, will they take my bag anyway?

If not i'll still take the flight and pack what I can in my carry on bag and leave the rest, but i'd rather find out now if that's the case and I can leave it with a friend.

Thanks if anyone has advice.

I doubt that baggage acceptance stops at 90 mins prior to departure; I would expect it to be closer to 45-60 mins before departure tbh so I would not be too worried about the 90 mins

I would be more worried about the train being late and missing the flight tbh

Thanks for the reply.

I got the 90 minute figure from:

Anyway I should only be a few minutes late and will already be checked in with boarding pass so hopefully they allow it.
