Rebook on an alternate flight

Passengers may rebook to the same destination or another destination within the same region on or before June 15, 2026. Travellers who booked through a travel agent must contact their agent, while those who booked directly with Emirates should contact the airline.

Request a refund

Passengers who booked directly with Emirates can submit a refund request through the airline’s refund form. Customers who booked through travel agents must contact their agent.

Emirates advises completing any rebooking first, as unused flights in the same itinerary will automatically be cancelled and refunded once a refund request is processed.

The airline also said customers who book flights from April 2 will receive one complimentary date change across all cabins, subject to ticket validity. Fare differences may apply.
