[quote=Anonymous]OP here.

We have flown Emirates many times and are familiar with Dubai and Dubai airport. If the flight is on time I have no concerns making the next leg within 1.5 hours. But if the flight is delayed leaving DC by a hour then that becomes a problem. Safaris are expensive and paid in advance and non refundable so if we miss the connection and are put on a flight the following day we lose the first day of the safari, which would also include a separate domestic flight on Proflight from Lusaka to the parks. So things quickly become complicated. Even if insurance covers the lost day there may not be any available flights the following day, both from Dubai and the domestic flight, as we're going peak season.

Having said this I am now leaning even more closely to Emirates but having a one day layover in Dubai to give us breathing space and to help cope with the jet lag. The return is a bummer with the 20 hour layover but Business for this leg may make thing more bearable along with a day hotel booking.

I think Ethiopian business isn't flat seat?

Those who mentioned United to Johannesburg, would that require a separately booked flight from Johannesburg to Lusaka? [/quote]
