Dubai

I am planning to book a flight soon, possibly on short notice, and I want to know if Emirates flights are still experiencing cancellations or if operations have returned to normal. I have seen mixed information online, so I am unsure if it is safe to proceed with booking at this...

I’m scheduled to visit Dubai next week for a one-week holiday, and I’m trying to get a sense of what travel looks like at the moment given the current ceasefire and regional situation. My flights are still operating, and I’m not eligible for a full refund unless they get...

I recently returned to Toronto from Dubai and wanted to share a quick update for anyone who may be nervous about traveling there or about the overall travel process. My flight departed at 1:30 AM, and the airport experience was very smooth. I was able to complete check-in, bag...

Flight would be end of April. I’ve heard mixed reviews on if 75 mins is enough time…

I'm planning to fly back to Dubai in a couple of days but I already have a fear of flying (nothing to do with the ongoing conflict) and if the flight is empty that would give me more anxiety ! So if anyone has flown to Dubai recently - do the flights look more full these days?...

A traveler considering a trip to Spain in May is exploring flight options and noticed that fares with many airlines are quite expensive. They are evaluating whether to book with Emirates, having heard that operations are running close to normal. The main concern is whether...

This feels pretty rough honestly. Guy went with his brother on Eid, tried to enter Dubai Mall and got stopped because they weren’t considered a “family group”. Ended up just leaving, and it left a bad impression on his brother. From what people were saying, it seems like this...

Flew Male to Munich via Dubai yesterday and honestly, it was all pretty normal. First leg was smooth and fairly empty, we even got a full row to ourselves. Dubai felt quieter than usual but nothing out of the ordinary. Second flight had a bit of a delay, we were already boarded...

Maybe I’m overthinking it, but with everything going on lately, I can’t help but wonder why Emirates is still routing so much through Dubai. I get that it’s their main hub, but it does feel like a lot of risk concentrated in one place. Doesn’t take much to throw everything into...

Flight to Düsseldorf got cancelled this morning and we were stuck in a huge queue for hours with no response from phone or chat. Looked pretty bad at first since the next flight was full. Then randomly the cancelled flight showed back up with a new departure time later in the...

I’m thinking about trying to standby into Dubai from Canada in about 10 days, but I’m unsure how things look at the moment with the recent tensions involving Iran. My partner and extended family are in Dubai and they’re telling me things are starting to calm down, but I’m...

Saw a wild story from someone who got stuck in Dubai with their family when flights started getting disrupted because of the Iran conflict. What was supposed to be a simple one day layover turned into several days of uncertainty with their Emirates flight getting pushed back...

Saw a pretty interesting experience someone shared flying Emirates from Moscow to Ho Chi Minh City via Dubai earlier this month. Because of rerouting around Iran, the first leg took much longer and they automatically moved the connecting flight to the next day. The passenger...

Their flight itself wasn’t cancelled, but when they arrived at the airport they were refused check-in because they were only transiting through Dubai. Apparently the airline had instructions to only allow passengers whose final destination was Dubai. What’s frustrating is that...
