I have flown many times in and out of Dubai and have never had an issue with losing my bags. I can only speak for myself, others may have different experiences.

I've only flown twice in and out of DXB with EK and on my way back from BLR (3 hours delay), I arrived in a very foggy DXB ... Absolute havoc !! Another 2 hours delay and arriving back il LHR, no luggage ... Took me 3 days to get them back ...

Been travelling with them for 10+ years never anything lost in DBX. Only problem was bag went missing for 5 days on a trip to Tehran, compensation was really poor even traveling F.

Wait - I tell a lie. After Hajj last year, one 10 Gallon bottle of ZamZam water did not arrive in DXB from JED. EK promptly replaced it.
(ZamZam water = Holy water from the spring thought to have been discovered by Abraham's baby son from Hagar in Makkah, Saudi Arabia).

I'd say EK along with DBX baggage handling services are amongst the best! No complaints in this department.
Only once have I had bags lost and handed over to me after a three day gap. But, this I believe was a problem arising out of JNB airport.

Sods law as they say. I used to fly KLM & Air France at least 4 times a month ex UK. I could guantee my luggage would be delayed (twice totally lost) at least 60% - 70% of the time. Flew to Japan with A.F luggage arrived 5 days later flew back home on the 6th day and the buggers delayed my bag yet again. Took two day to get the luggage back to me.
