We chose to go by emirates with the goal that we could visit Dubai, while heading out to India from San Francisco. We had abundance things, since we were not certain how this would be charged, we rang Emirates Customer Care. Client Care checked with different divisions and said we simply need to pay once at San Francisco, we asked them put it the notes, so we dont have any disarray in the airplane terminal. They put it in there.
We were at Dubai air terminal for a flight at 9:30 pm, we are at the airplane terminal at 5:30 pm. At the check in counter we were told, that you need to pay, and requesting that we go to the Ticketing Office to determine the issue
