Just received a quote for next years holiday to Dubai and Mauritius. On the return leg we have 90 minutes to transfer flights which seems very tight to me. If we miss the flight are V hols (or Emirates as both flights are with them) liable for any fees for moving to the next flight?
Thanks in Advance

If they're booking you then it's above the minimum connection time for DXB and yes, if an incoming flight is late then they'll work to get you on the next available flight (assuming it's all booked as one ticket).
I've done this many times at DXB, and with shorter connections too.

I too have done this in under 90 mins. Nothing to worry about. That also included a mamouth walk from T1 to T3 which I hadn't planned on.

Thanks for the replies.
So it looks like I will soon be having my first Emirates flights (through VH). Any tips ( kinda broad I know)? Do Emirates hold back seats until OLCI like VS?

Yes I think they do hold back seats but not sure. Exit row is FOC so definitely ask at the check in desk if you are flying Y. Enjoy MRU, I flew via DXB last time I went. The food in the Marhaba lounge in DXB terminal 3 is pretty good.

I believe the minimum connection time is advertised as 45 minutes in Singapore.
