• Emirates is operating some flights. Where are they flying and how can I book?

  We are operating a limited number of flights until further notice. Customers can check the flight schedule for upcoming flights, as well as book seats to travel.

  Customers transiting in Dubai will only be accepted for travel if they also hold a confirmed booking for their connecting flight. You can check the flight schedule for the latest information.

  Emirates continues to monitor the situation, and will develop its operational schedule accordingly.

• Can I reschedule my flight without any fees?

  Last updated: 9 April 2026, 20:23 (GMT +4)

  Yes. If you are booked on a flight scheduled to depart up to and including 31 May, you can rebook on another flight to the same destination or another destination in the same region for travel on or before 15 June.

  You can amend bookings and rebook flights online within 72 hours of your original departure date by visiting Manage Booking or “Manage Your Booking” on the Emirates app.

  If you are unable to rebook, please contact us.

  If you booked with a travel agent, please contact the agent for rebooking.

• How can I request a refund?

  Last updated: 9 April 2026, 20:23 (GMT +4)

  If your flight has been cancelled or you choose not to travel on a flight currently booked on or before 31 May, you can request a refund without any fees. If your trip includes multiple legs, you can request a refund without any fees for any unused part of the journey – i.e. onward travel via Dubai.

  If you paid for any extras, like seat selection, extra legroom, or an upgrade, those won't be refunded automatically along with your ticket. You will need to request a separate refund for each one. If you don't, you will only get the ticket price back.

  To process your refund, please fill out this form if you booked directly with Emirates. Your refund will be processed in approximately 21 business days, but this may vary depending on your bank.

  If you booked via a travel agent, please contact them to process your refund and for updates on timelines.

  If your flight has been cancelled, you will not be able to rebook online. Please contact us to rebook.

  If you booked through a travel agent, please contact them.
