mcfish Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 That should read exiting... Darn text predict About to book a flight to Europe with an 18 hour layover in Abu Dhabi so I figured I would venture out to one the airport hotels Alread checked and Australians don't need a visas but what happens to my luggage. Do I just leave it on the plane and rocky up for the connecting flight the next day? Sent from my SC-01D using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Assuming you are doing both legs with the same airline just check the luggage through to your final destination. Otherwise the left luggage office in the airport or advance check-in for the second leg is your answer. "Leaving it on the plane" would be a bit daft as you can guarantee that the plane will not hang around for 18 hours waiting for you. It will be off to another destination within an hour or two of arrival (unless undergoing scheduled maintenance). Unless of course you are John Travolta and it's your private 747.

mcfish Posted March 5, 2016 Author Share Posted March 5, 2016 Wouldn't be able to leave it on the plane even if wanted to. Should have worded it better. I got it now, its the same airline. Sent from my SC-01D using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alofthailand Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I did this flying from KSA to BKK via AD - went out for a beer, bacon butty and a boom boom. I double checked with the airport authorities that it would be OK and rte-entry would not be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNXBKKMAN Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I did it once . Bags where checked to the UK and I left the airport with my hand luggage. I took the airport bus from outside the terminal into the city and had a look around. People were very friendly. Your boarding card issued at BKK for the next flight will get you back airside and through immigration. Changing money at the airport wasn't a very good deal. Might be better to buy some dirhams at a Superich before you leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manic Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Yes I agree. Some of the Emirates and surounding countries have fun - expat bars- music - western supermarkets- nightlife-Dubai and Bahrain are famous for good night life. Bahrain is more liberated than London - until it gets an Arab Spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
