Txfer from T3 to T1
 

Hi Folks,
I'll be travelllig through DXB after almost 2 years, so not sure how's trust/txfer time requirement these days.
I arrive at DXB from SFO at 7:25 PM and have a Saudia flight from T1 to RUH at 10:30 PM .
Got couple of queries.
1) Not sure if ~3 Hr is good enough for transfer from clearing Immig + T3 -> T1 txfer + checkin with Saudia with PCR validation .
2) Can my original PCR tees from US be used to checkin with Saudia given its within 72 Hrs. ( My apologies for asking Saudia query on EK).

Appreciate any recent experiences.

Thanks

I believe you have enough time, without delays of course. I'm only guessing and you should check with Saudia but the PCR test should be OK as well.

Thanks for the reply.
Whats. the quickest way to txfer these days from T3 arrival tot T1 departures..?
Also, How. long is its taking these days to clear Immig &. collect bags from incoming EK flights from US.
I've bee there quite a. few. times and Immig use to be breeze, ofcoourse that was pre-pandemic days.

Appreciate any recent experiences.

My last arrival into DXB at a similar time five weeks ago was quiet. I was past immigration in about 10mins. It’s just before the evening arrival rush, so should be fairly quick.

Bags are normally fairly fast, but it depends on where the aircraft parks, in my experience, and that’s impossible to predict ahead of time.

As far as I’m aware the quickest way between T3 and T1 landside is the RTA (public) bus which runs every 10mins or so, but I haven’t used that in years.
