Further to my post where Emirates has started operations from Dubai to London Heathrow, Frankfurt, Paris, Brussels and Zurich, with four flights a week to London Heathrow, and three flights a week to the other cities, they have announced a few changes that are important to note if you will be travelling on them.
- How to book: Go to emirates.com and select the “one-way“ option when you select dates in the booking flow, and select the date that you want to travel.
If you choose a return flight, no available flights will show.
If a flight is sold out it will show as not applicable. You can check the weekly calendar at the bottom of the page to select the next available date. - Eligibility: If you are considering booking one of these flights, you will need to check entry criteria on the IATA information page and eligibility from the respective country government guidance to ensure you are able to travel.
- Where to check-in: Note that the flights are to take off from Terminal 3 (and not Terminal 2 as announced before.
- No cabin baggage is allowed. Items allowed will be limited to laptop, handbag, briefcase or baby items; any other items will have to be checked in.
- Online check-in not available: Online check-in is not available on these flights. The seats will be pre-assigned as per social distancing rules.
- No cash back: If you change your mind about travelling, you can’t change the destination and the ticket is non refundable.
- You must carry: Your own face mask and hand gloves.
Great job Emirates in helping those stranded get home.
Stay safe and safe travels if you will be using these flights and please update in the comments if you took one of these flights with your experience.
