Dubai's terminal 3 looks huge, is it fairly straight forward or all a bit hectic? _________________   Posted: Fri Mar 14, 2014 2:20 pm Casey Jones Joined: 30 May 2008 Posts: 1501 Location: Cumbria Still hectic sams..but better than it was. T3 is huge and still growing do not under estimate the transit from one flight to the other. This may involve the people mover train journey to the departures, so allow yourself 25 minutes at least for this journey alone (the train only takes about 5 mins though) its the walking to get there! Only 94 days for us to Kandolhu..via Dubai again for us.

Casey Thanks Casey, we won't hang around TBH we found it quite straight forward but we had three hours in between flights. A really good idea is around the seating areas you will find some showers which are pretty quite so we both took turns to get changed into fresh clothes and have a wash. It does not sound much but it made the next flight so much better. Also the macdonalds do a good big mac!!   Posted: Sun Mar 16, 2014 12:46 pm sams Joined: 21 Dec 2006 Posts: 1636 Location: Scotland Thanks for that Ivorfatarse, I think we have around 3 hours, a freshen up would certainly make the next flight a bit easier. And a big mac just before we leave for Vilamendhoo sounds good to me _________________ Dubai Transfer     Meeru Island Resort Forum Index » "The Lounge" You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum All times are GMT   Page 1 of 1   All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First  Select a forum Meeru Island Resort----------------AnnouncementsGeneral Meeru DiscussionTrip ReportsTrip Reports from anywhere else in the world!Diving and SnorkellingPhotographyFAQLinksSay Hello!"The Lounge"   Powered by phpBB© 2001-2004 phpBB Group Designed by Vjacheslav Trushkin
