Hotel Eligibility
 

Hi Folks,

I have a question regrading eligibility for a Hotel stay on a long layover. This is the scenario:

I am planning a trip in April '14 outbound BOM-JNB and returning CPT-MAA in F. On the date of return from CPT which is the 25th of April, I am intending to book on EK773, which gets into DXB at 01:15 on 26th. I am planning to connect on to EK542 at 21:30 from DXB-MAA on 26th April, giving me a 19+ hour layover in DXB. Although there are 2 flights earlier in the day EK544 and 546, they both dont have an F class, only business class on both.

Therefore my question is, am I eligible for the hotel stay as my only 'next available connecting F class flight' is more than 8 hours ?

Cheers,

Dinshaw.

Tricky one as the Dubai connect website does not speak anything about class of service, only 'earlier' flights. No harm in trying but be prepared for a 'no'.

pretty sure that the restriction is that it is the next flight regardless of availability

OK, thanks Jackie and Dave for the responses. Will give it a shot and see if it works :)
