BEY Transit
I need to do a mileage run during the summer to keep platinum and at the same time a quick weekend in the UK would be nice.
Flying BEY-LGW via DXB is just under 10K AED in J (compared to 18K DXB-LGW), and I have a few miles I need to use up to get out to BEY.
Has anyone transited BEY without leaving the airport? Ideally EK-EK? Cant seem to see any info on transiting on their website. Transit time is about 1:20 mins so tight but I have done tighter before!
Any other options let me know, CMB is Just under 11K which in the past has been the cheapest for this kind of thing.

Too easy. BEY is such a small airport and EK almost always uses gate 21 (or 23) so it's a very short walk to immigration (if you choose to) or through the transit desk and back upstairs to the departure hall.
Make sure you check in online prior to departure. At DXB you may even get the boarding passes for the inbound. I have tried to do something similar in the past and was first told no way, but then the agent punched the flight details in and out came the boarding passes (I had checked in before).
