Emirates to Emirates same flight number stop in Bali
Hi,
looking at EK flight AKL-DXB with a 1:55 hour stop in DPS (flight number remains the same),
Can anyone tell me what the process for the stop is - offloaded I presume? No clearing immigration. Any other pointers.
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I don't know, and haven't seen any reports of this route (it's quite new), but given the duration of the stop and the segments I'd say you'd get off and follow signs for international transit, taking you back to the departures hall (maybe transit security enroute, I don't know as I've only arrived at, not transited DPS)

Similarly in BKK on the way to HKG, the through passengers stay on and the aircraft is cleaned and re-stocked around them. From previous threads I believe it's dictated by the destination country's security requirements.

you get off plane and transit
you dont have to clear customs, but it's not clear what any other processes are
there are mentions elsewhere Indonesia has a Transit with Visa - and for some this may cost US$10 (but I have no idea if that is correct or not)

‘Depends on country regulations. DXB - CMB - SIN you are not supposed to get off in CMB, I have to stretch my legs because nobody can really stop you . They have agents asking to see your BP but they aren’t strict and you anyway have two BPs.

Since you don't pass immigration I don't see how a visa would be required, this is a common misconception, mainly with Americans, because for some reason the USA has decided that convenience sucks and there's no international-to-international airside transit. Virtually every other airport around the world does permit this, however, without requirement for a visa, transit visas are generally required where one needs to go land-side for whatever reason, whether this is collecting and re-checking bags or switching airports (e.g. LHR-LGW)

Presumably they just go from what timatic says. transit visas are one of those weird things no one really understands, people see it in the timatic readout and go into a blind panic over whether they're required. Lots of nationalities get visa-free or visa-on-arrival into Indonesia so even if it was needed you could probably sort it out there, but then again, you're on a single through-flight DXB-AKL via DPS, I am 100% certain EK would not require you to have travel documents for Indonesia on such a routing.
