Booking with Emirates
Hold my fare
What happens if I don’t buy my flights within 72 hours?
If your held fare expires, your booking will be cancelled and your card will be charged with the reservation fee that was quoted when you used Hold My Fare. We only return the reservation fee when you pay for the booking within the 72-hour time limit.
