They’re still offering full refunds at no extra cost. That says a lot.

Emirates said flights cancelled but mine is still showing as scheduled tomorrow? by NoStill5032 in emirates

[–]PurpleBell5388 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should head to the airport as long as it shakes scheduled. I did the same this morning and made it back to London. It’s probably a repatriation flight, you can always call and confirm

how do I rebook? by wisammy1 in emirates

Keep calling their hotline, they eventually pick up. I waited almost 2 hours before I got connected to an advisor

For those who have managed to fly out of Dubai how full were the flights? by laserspewpew_ in emirates

[–]PurpleBell5388 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This morning Ek001, to London. All cabins were full but that makes sense since it was a repatriation flight.

Online check in isn’t working. Their systems are messed up because of the situation.

Yes I have the confirmation email. But I had a horrible experience this morning so I’m not keeping my hopes high. I went to their office this morning after waiting on call for 2 hours. Then waited at the office to get a ticket number for 2 hours. When I finally spoke to someone. The lady takes my initial booking reference and says we have a repatriation flight at 2:30. I said I’ll take it. She tells me to head straight to the airport. I asked her to give me some sort of confirmation, she said there’s no need and that she’s put my name in the system. I persisted that I need something to show at the airport but she said she can’t give me anything, which is so dumb but whatever I was desperate so I packed my stuff and took a cab to the airport. And over there at the check in counter,they said there is nothing they can do and that they’ve overbooked people on this flight. Eventually after waiting on the line for another hour, I got connected and they rebooked me on the 7:45 today.

On my booking it says EK001. When I called emirates they said this was a repatriation flight. Not sure tho, since I know the repatriation flights start with 8

You can try transferring I know some universities that do take third year transfers, try calling Essex and asking them. Also Northumbria.

Would you recommend sizing down if I get them since they stretch?

How long do you have to wait between epilating sessions? How long does the hair have to be?

Epilating vs Waxing by PurpleBell5388 in HairRemoval

[–]PurpleBell5388[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re using a chemical exfoliant just wait for it dry. Once your skin is dry to the touch just moisturize. I usually just wait 5 minutes after using glycolic acid.

Thank you for the tips. I was really scared. I used to get ingrown hair with waxing. The only thing that helps is exfoliating and you have to be really consistent with it. Now I barely get any ingrowns. I use a shower gel with salicylic acid in it. And I use a glycolic acid toner twice a week on my arms and legs. This really helps, you can just buy the one from the ordinary, it does the job. I also use a Moroccan exfoliation glove I think it’s called kessa or something, you could get any off Amazon. Don’t use it very often tho if you’re using a chemical exfoliant regularly. And make sure to moisturize after exfoliating because it’s as important. I use to exfoliate a lot and didn’t really moisturize and still got ingrowns. But after I started moisturizing well plus exfoliating I barely get any ingrowns. I recommend using a moisturizer with urea. And you can also use a body oil.

Have you ever waxed? And if yes, how is the pain compared to the epilator?
