im guessing hes on about 5th freedom routes and the connection points for such?
If so, DPS, MXP, BKK, probably a few others

OP have you been banned from the QF forum or just moved on?

Dear DYKWIA,
That's alright! I can tell you. A connecting flight is when an ultra long haul flight has to make a stop (or several stops) in between its journey, so the aircraft doesn't run out of fuel. EK has a very large network based out of DXB, but its aircraft aren't capable enough of flying to very far destinations. That's why they have small hubs in each continent in which the flight is en route to can go to for a fuel stop. Do you now know? If you don't that's OK because I can explain it to you very precisely and gently. Here are some examples to start you off:
Sydney, Australia
Conakry, Guinea
Bali, Indonesia
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Sincerely,
lucas.zhu

So very nice of you to join us here in the EK forum. I'm very happy to chat to you about this lovely topic. Unfortunately you got a teeny weeny bit mixed up with your information. Emirates do stop in DPS, as well as SYD and BKK, amongst others, but this isn't because of performance or fuel restrictions. The DPS stop is enroute to AKL, a city they also fly to non-stop. And they've reduced a lot of stops in BKKs.
As it is, and I totally get that you may not have known this, the term connecting flight poorly describes this situation. The precise term would be a 1-stop direct flight, or alternatively you could ask where EK operates fifth freedom flights from, as nancypants kindly explained. Don't worry, many people don't know these terms and it's totally ok.
Here are a few, but do note that EK (that stands for Emirates) doesn't have pick-up rights in all, this means you can't book a ticket on the short hop from some of these onwards. The list might also not be 100% accurate anymore as things change often, do please forgive any inaccuracies:
- CRK
- BKK
- DPS
- SYD
- HAN
- LUN
- GRU
- GIG
- MXP
- ATH

Dear skywardhunter,
Thank you for the very nice compliment! I look forward to talking about EK on this thread! I am also very happy too!
P.S. You know, if you went on to the EK route map, it would show you all the stopovers Emirates use.

This thread has very quickly become far more entertaining than one could have imagined 
Not least because of this rather .... ahem ..... novel (and of course wholly misguided) definition / example of a connecting flight.
