Even if all of the chauffeur services show up and available to book on an award flight booked through JAL, I pretty much need to ignore it and pretend it doesn't exist, correct?

Booking advice
Okay guys so I’m in a rough spot. I’ve a flight booked from Jed-Jfk in February and I want to visit Hyd right before I take that flight. Here’s where things get tricky, my visa to Saudi Arabia is only single entry which means once I leave for hyd I can’t really come back to Jed.
I wanted some advice on how to approach this situation. Can I skip the Jed-dxb leg and board the dxb-jfk leg from Dubai when I return from hyd to dxb.
Or should I just book a return ticket Jed-hyd-jed and since my visa will have already been used, I can be a transit passenger and board my Jed-jfk booking from there. Has anyone transited through the jeddah international terminal?

Are there really no credit card options in Canada that can give you Skywards miles? I've done some research but can't find anything. Apparently American Express card points in the U.S. can be transferred to Emirates Skywards miles, but American Express in Canada does not give you that option.

So, short question about baggage drop-off at DXB, flying F class DXB-FCO. I know that EK recommends being at the airport T -90mins before departure, and check-in closes T-60mins before departure. However, can I still drop my baggage (having already done OLCI) between T-90 and T-60?
Thanks!
Thanks!

So with thanks to FT, am doing my first long haul Business Class flight with Emirates from DXB to LHR tomorrow. I've flown BC on the shorter A380 routes (BKK-HKG) and think it's an awesome product.
I've got CD booked at both ends and so will have a fair bit of time to explore the lounge - but wondered if anyone had any tips on how best to maximise the experience!?
Many Thanks
