Minimum Connecting Time at DBX
I used miles to get an award ticket to Dubai on Lufthansa and then want to buy a ticket to Colombo on either Emirates or Sri Lankan Airlines. It's a long story but getting an award to Sri Lanka is mission impossible. What is the minimum connecting time for that type of connecting flight?

I would recommend at least 2, if your luggage isnt checked through. The walk from the gate to immigration is around 25 minutes and the walk from check in to the gate is also quite a bit, so I wouldnt do anything less than 2 hours. I know that most european flights arrive around midnight, and most cmb flights depart after 230am or so, so you should be fine
Cheers
