I applied for the Dubai Connect Visa via their email about a week ago but haven’t heard back from them yet. Emirates chat support said they can’t track the status of visa applications for it. My flight is still 9 days to go. So -

1. How much time do they usually take?
2. What happens if I do t hear back from them in time? Should I walk down to Dubai connect counter at DXB or consider this as it’s not processed in time?

I’m an Indian passport holder with an active US visa (h1b) so I think I can get visa on arrival too but not sure if gotta pay for that.

I know there’s the whole meltdown of Elliot Page being Achilles. But have people not been talking about the possibility of Ben Affleck playing the role? I mean the dude was seen on sets as a “guest” to visit Matt Daemon. Why would Nolan allow only one such celebrity to visit the set?

I have an 8 hour layover in DXB and I’m eligible for Dubai Connect.
I’m flying on business special but I think I get Lounge access via Silver status at DXB.
Based on my research it seems doing the Dubai Connect might be rushed as I’ll technically get only 2-3 hours at the hotel?
Would you recommend just being in the lounge? My 8 hours layover is from 20:00 to 03:00 so doesn’t seem like I’d be able to check anything outside.

I’m conflicted since both options seem doable. But looking forward to recommendations from folks in this sub.

I’m one of those guys who rewatches Nolan movies every now and then. And from the constant questioning of which is Nolan’s best - I’ve settled to believe The Prestige is his best work imo.

Which means I’ve seen the movie over 50 times. And I can’t believe in my last rewatch is when I found out that the first lines of Bordens book that Angier is reading gives away the twist.

“We were two young men dedicated to an illusion”.

So it wasn’t Angier and Borden that Angier was thinking.

Was I the only one who noticed this late?
