Re: Fly Dubai - Emirates. The two operate on codesharing basis. It's a common norm in International flights (UA-Turkish for example) but I'd highly advise against booking a flight that do codeshare.
Let me tell you why.
My mother had a roundtrip scheduled with Fly Dubai-Emirates recently (US - Dubai on Emirates and Dubai-Ktm on AirDubai). She had a layover of 16 hrs at Dubai and they wouldn't provide hotels because they were two different airlines! What really pissed me off was the fact the prick who we booked our flights through didn't distinguish that the difference between 1900 and 1205 pm is 16 hrs! And we actually paid close to 2 grand.
I ended up purchasing Marhaba lounge services at the airport that cost another 400 dollars. It was an awful experience overall. So you might wanna be careful about it.
