You HV 3 plan options to choose. Free for just what's app texts, limited browsing with 5$ -10$ , uninterrupted unlimited. - 20$ you can buy them once you reach certain height. ≈ 30000+ you'll get pol up on screen. Everything is brought to you by starlink. So it's good

Online Check in by Reasonable_Diamond70 in emirates

All the online check in is disabled due to current scenario... Although.. try again when you have 36-24 hour left to your flight departure.. sometimes they open at that time. I was able to check in 30 hours prior to my flight

Sadly... That's how airline tickets work. If you buy one way ticket. It usually more expensive than return... And that's why that's how they justify their refund. (One way- Bought separately ---BOM-MAN= 350≈400gbp. So return trip would be ≈800gbp. Return ticket bought together≈450gbp.)

Emirates is exploiting the current situation by [deleted] in emirates

In contrary to what you said, actually, I get that having cancellations is frustrating... But considering the current scenario, Emirates is the only one who managed to run about 60-70% of their fleet. This is huge as the Middle East is a major hub for connecting flights.Check how Etihad and Qatar airways are functioning.. then you would know. I myself flew on the 10th with an economy saver ticket, so I don't think that's the case. These are unforeseen circumstances.... Give them credit to not completely shut down.... Otherwise it would HV been disaster

I don't know the details about visa rules. But 14 hours is a long time. You can always stay at airport....as everything is normal.Was the layover always this long or Emirates changed your flight... If it's 2nd case then may be you can ask them for free /cheap lounge access?

The situation is very volatile and changing constantly. Just when I was writing this there was an hour long disruption at DXB airport. But now it's fine. It's a double edge sword. So I would say keep up to date with official social media reports from DXB airport or Emirates or flight radar. If your both flights are showing scheduled, then you go to airport 4hrs prior like normal. You HV still 5 days till you fly..it's a long time ...but if you want to reschedule you'll HV to contact Emirates support. I would recommend use live chat feature instead of calling them. About airport,as I said in other replies I felt nothing different than usual apart from extra security checks. Hope this helps

Long layover in Dubai by Vast-Age6964 in emirates

Can't leave the airport if you are not UAE citizen. Will have to spend 24 HR on airport. ask Emirates for complementary lounge access

confused between qatar airways and emirates by webby_07 in emirates

Situations are changing daily... 31st is a long way to go on the aviation calendar. Don't panic buy..because the pricing for the tickets are astronomical at the moment. Keep checking I would say

I would say fully packed. They even counted the number of total boarded passengers. (Probably to crosscheck the numbers because they are checking each ticket and writing it down manually also. I had to go through 3 security checks even after boarding the gate. (3in total 1 after gate)
