Minimum Transfer Time between Emirates and FlyDubai flights at DXB
Hello pals,
I attempted to make a reservation on emirates.com for CDG to SYZ with connection at DXB (The CDG-DXB flight is operated by EK and arrives at DXB T3 while the DXB-SYZ flight is operated by FlyDubai from DXB T2), however I didn't succeed in making the booking because obviously the minimum transfer time requirement at DXB is 120 minutes and the booking I attempted to make has 115 minutes transfer time (Only 5 minutes less than DXB's 2hr minimum transfer time requirement). Is there anyway, to work around this situation and get the reservation ticketed?
Thanks!

You have to get across the airfield from T3 to T2, and that could take an hour.
The minimum connection time is to protect the customer, not make it difficult

1h30 can be just enough for an intra-T3 transfer (even without bus transfer).
So, 2h00 for T3-T2 is really the minimum, all the more that OP doesn't seem to know DXB very well.
Moreover, 15min delay on this inbound route is not uncommon. (It depends on which of the three daily flights, though)
