CMB check in time
Flying CMB-DXB in F on EK655 departing CMB at 22:05. We will be arriving to CMB on domestic flight at 15:45. I would imagine that techincally check in for our flight opens at 19:05 however check in for EK653 to MLE will open at 17:15.
Does anyone know if they will allow check in for 22:05 departure at 17:15?
Thank you

I was there a couple of months ago with a similar layover time and outbound in F on the 655 too.
Unfortunately since the bombings, security has really clamped down and they were only letting pax though to check-in T-3 hours to departure.
You could try and sweet talk them to allow you to check-in early - alternatively grab a relaxing massage from one of cluster of shops in the land-side departures area.

Any insights as to time to pass through customs/immigration on arrival into CMB as well as departing?

Depends on your time of day really. Pretty quick and smooth though generally speaking, departing landside security queues can be lengthy but immigration is quick enough

Thanks, our outbound flight is on Qatar at 00:20 on Jan 2, wondering how much time we should allow for check in, getting to the gate.
