Check in time at MCT
Anyone know the latest check in time for the 5am MCT-DXB flight? We are thinking of getting a taxi at 3:00am from the Ritz Carlton. That should get to the airport at 3:30am. Enough time?
Cheers

I would actually get some from Les Clos in Dubai airport too, it has some great wines.
I'm tentative for brunch at the moment but will let you know.

EK at MCT usually closes check-in at one hour before departure. MCT is very easy to navigate, so checking just before cut-off and going direct through security should be no problem.

Thanks all. We got picked up at 3am. There was a slight panic when we got to the motorway and found it closed! The driver seemed clueless at first about what to do, but eventually found an alternative route. So, we arrived at about 3.35.
I assume there is a separate business class check in somewhere? We ended up in the economy part, but it only took 5 minutes.
The flight was very lightly loaded, and we land at DXB on time.
Then had a very enjoyable flight to MRU. The aircraft was changed from a 777-300 to a 77W. I wish I'd upgraded, as there were only 3 in F. J was only about 30% full.
Now resident at the Four Seasons for a week. Boy, this place is nice

I've not seen Suites the 3 times I've been to MRU. Its very inconsistent.
