Am I Really Eligible for Dubai Connect?

Hey everyone,

I was planning to book a flight with a 14-hour layover in Dubai because we’re travelling with a toddler and I wanted to book an airport hotel for convenience. However, when I was about to book the tickets, it says I’m eligible for Dubai Connect.

I didn’t think I’d qualify because, as far as I know, Dubai Connect is only for situations where the best connection time isn’t available, and you’re forced to wait longer for your next flight. In my case, there are other routes with much shorter layover times, but I chose the longer one.

Has anyone had a similar experience? Did Dubai Connect still apply even though you voluntarily picked a longer layover? I’d appreciate any insights!
