Emirates are amazing, however the connecting experience is often painful much like LHR due to the fact passport control is very local....
What passport control at DXB?? When connecting at DXB you only go through a security check before being fed into the departures level. Plenty of security check points and staff at peak hours - never had to wait too long to go through.
Departures level at DXB can be very congested at peaks. And there is often a queue for the numerous Gents facilities in the Business Class Lounge
However I look forward to my next visit now that the EK A380 concourse has just opened for a few flights and will get progressively busier in the next couple of months.This should ease the pressure on the existing facilities. And of course in the A380 concourse, J and F passengers can walk straight out of the lounge to the gate and into the upper deck of the aircraft on the level without getting in the way of Y passengers....
An infinitely preferable experience than BA
