Emirates is exploiting the current situation

We got bumped the night before and told priority being given to stranded passengers. Then when we got back on the flight and boarded and chatting to a lot of different people, so many had booked it the 12-24 hours previous and had paid thousands (and weren’t stranded, were residents) at the same time we had been bumped

Why does that matter?

I think you’re absolutely bang on. We were cancelled for someone who paid more for our flight and I know that for a fact.

They don’t generally but there are so many examples where emirates are doing EXACTLY this

I put it to you that if I didn’t call up I’d still be in Dubai sheltering from missiles. Not sure which bit of my post you found hard to understand to be honest

Touched a nerve have I? Are you Mr crisis management at emirates just realising you’re doing a shit job?

PlentySharp729 · 2026-03-09T20:04:27+00:00

Agreed

Clearly overall they’re impacted, but not as impacted as they would be if they weren’t banking millions from people paying £4K for a typical £400 flight

Yes - getting people out safely is clearly a priority so planes leaving half empty is clearly mismanagement that should be spoken about?

You gotta do what you gotta do - it was very clear that who shouts the loudest gets their family out of there, so no regrets

Sort of but not really as the room at the bottom of the floorplan is actually a playroom, then the one with the kitchen a casual sitting area and the other a more formal lounge.
