Emirates at Heathrow have no check in staff. All done on machines. Slightly unnerving in case I did not do it right!!

Plenty of others are getting asked every day. Not sure what your point is.

with Emirates ? It tends to ne airline dependant if they ask for a flight out of thailand. Have a cheap flight out lined up ready so you can book at check in if required

Dependent on country of departure. Far more likely to be requested in US than in UK.Adam *******

OPI telephoned the Emirates prior to my flight, and explained I had a 60 day SETV and 89 day return ticket.
They told me there would be no problem,
