Emirates

We have flights booked with Emirates from Australia to Europe at the end of May for a 4-week trip. My wife is getting quite worried due to news about a potential fuel shortage in Australia and the ongoing conflict situation, which does not seem to be resolving soon. There is...

As European flights get really expensive and sometimes cancelled, Gulf airlines like Emirates and Qatar are becoming a good, often cheaper choice. One may be scared of getting near the triangle israel - US battleships - Iran, and I understand that. For the others, it’s nice to...

My partner previously volunteered to give up a seat on an overbooked Emirates flight about a year ago and received a travel voucher in return. She later used that voucher to book a flight from Dubai to Manchester scheduled for May. The booking was made well before any current...

I am considering flying to Australia via Dubai in October with Emirates. I understand that no one can predict future geopolitical conditions, but I want to get an idea of the risk of my flight being cancelled or rescheduled if I book now. I am not sure how current cancellations...

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...

Is it more advisable to fly with Qatar or Emirates right now from Thailand to Germany? If you had the choice, which of the two airlines would you choose with the current situation?

I originally booked flights from Melbourne to Athens in August through Qantas Airways, with the flights operated by Emirates. I recently received an email notifying me of a schedule change, with the option to accept or modify the itinerary. I selected a new timing that suited me...

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...

i have an upcoming itinerary from istanbul to hanoi via dubai on flights ek124 and ek394, and i am currently listed on standby with priority 9 and 10 for travel on the 6th. given recent discussions about disruptions and travel restrictions, i have seen mentions that some standby...

We originally booked our trip to Manila with Qatar Airways, but our return flight was cancelled and there are no suitable replacement flights available within the next 15 days, which is a concern due to time constraints. We are now considering switching to Emirates, as current...

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?...

I have a ticket booked from Melbourne to Rome with a connection in Dubai, flying with Emirates on June 1. If Dubai is still considered a restricted transit point for Australian travelers at that time, I’m unsure what would happen to my booking. Would the airline try to reroute...

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 comes up a lot and honestly it sounds confusing even for the recruiters. Officially it’s always “no visible tattoos in uniform,” but then you hear cases like this where even a fully covered tattoo gets flagged. Makes it feel like some recruiters just apply a stricter rule...

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...

Tried to upgrade to First on an Emirates flight (CHC to SYD) booked through Qantas and ran into an interesting limitation. Asked at check-in and gate, both said no upgrades possible since it’s a Qantas-issued ticket. But onboard is a different story. After boarding, crew checked...

Also feels like one of those moments where airlines don’t really “help” unless you’re still on their ticket… once you refund, you’re kinda on your own. Hope you find something reasonable… those prices hurt.

This sounds absolutely exhausting… started with a simple booking and just kept getting worse. Schedule change, reroute, then a diversion to Muscat after some kind of incident near Dubai. After that it’s delays on delays… hours on the ground, long lines, missed connections, even...

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...
