If your travel plans have been affected, we’ll do our best to rebook you on the next available Emirates flight. This applies to most disrupted tickets, including journeys connecting beyond Dubai.

To provide further peace of mind, customers who book flights from 2 April will also be offered one complimentary date change, across all cabins. Please note, changes must be within ticket validity, and fare difference fees may apply.

The European Union has introduced a new Entry/Exit System (EES) at Schengen borders. This system replaces the manual passport stamping process with a digital record of your entry and exit, including basic details and biometric data (such as fingerprints and a facial image). 

If you are a non‑EU/Schengen national travelling to or from the Schengen Area for a short stay (up to 90 days in any 180‑day period), the EES applies to you. Download the Travel to Europe app and register before you fly to save time and speed up border checks.  

When you first arrive, border officers will collect your biometric data (fingerprints and facial scan) along with your passport details. This will be stored securely in the EES database. On subsequent visits, you will not need to repeat the full process — your data will already be in the system. Your entry/exit will simply be recorded digitally.

EU citizens, Schengen residents, and those holding long‑stay visas or residence permits are not affected.

Please allow extra time for border checks, especially on your first trip after the system goes live.

For more information, please visit the official EU EES information page.

From 1 October, all non-Indian nationals travelling to India must complete a new e-Arrival Card before the flight.

You can submit the immigration form on the India Bureau of Immigration website from 72 hours and no later than 24 hours before the flight. There is no registration fee for the e-Arrival Card online.

If you do not complete the form before you travel, it will result in a longer immigration process at the airport.

Please ensure your contact details are correct by visiting  Manage Your Booking to receive updates.

From 1 October, using or charging a power bank on board Emirates flights will no longer be permitted. Customers can still carry one power bank on board and it must be in cabin baggage. Power banks are not permitted in checked-in baggage.

The power bank can have a maximum capacity of 100 watt-hour (Wh) and the capacity rating must be clearly visible on the power bank.

On the aircraft, power banks cannot be stowed in the overhead lockers. Your power bank must be placed in a bag under the seat in front of you or in the seat pocket in front of you. Power banks cannot be used to charge any personal devices on board and charging the power bank is also not permitted.

These enhanced measures are designed to minimise the risk associated with power banks during the flight. For more information, please visit the Dangerous Goods Policy page.
