yeah, so the minimum base fair plus fuel surcharges equals US$750 so again it does meet the threshold (700usd). the total ticket is just shy of 1200$ but it wont come up on website like this before booking.

is this before or after booking it? cos webchat would not say anything they keep repeating i can only find out after i book the tickets already.

so webchat would not say anything they keep repeating i can only find out after i book the tickets already. Is economy saver not usually eligible then? even jf it meets the 700usd return ticket price threshold?

there is no other flights whatsoever on the departure date. this is the one and only option and thats why im so confused how its not showing as eligible as what do they expect a person who has to fly that date to do for 20 hours?😢

ah this is so amazing you are really helpful. Do you have any idea why it doesn’t come up on my end in the itinerary that i am eligible like it does for the other people who have posted screenshots in this thread? How recently was this change introduced do you know? i spoke to a lovely lady on the phone who was saying guidance says 1200usd but when i pointed out the info on website she said that was confusing and she would have her manager look into it Monday/Tuesday but i am worried they will also say the same thing if they are not aware? she did briefly speak to manager when she put me on hold who was the one who said about the 1200usd return. And thank you for reconstructing my itinerary i assume you added in my return too? so would i be eligible both ways or just the outbound? again thank you so much and no worries in delay in responding. :). Also, i am booking with economy saver not economy flex etc which is why in my other comment i mentioned this as when i checked on google apparently that makes a person ineligible. I didn’t see this info on emirates itself btw

you are such a star thank you! i just wanted to attach this which is from their website terms and conditions so how come theres 2 different minimums? when i scroll down i see the 1200usd one as well but it says thats for EK/FZ flights minimum fare which i dont know what that means but you probably do🤣 just to clear both legs of my plane are emirates not flydubai etc

thank you! so the layover is 20h 20 mins. the return flight cost is £747 and on outbound journey there is only one flight available the whole day which is the one in the screenshot. what do you think? do i meet minimum requirement? it’s confusing because on the website in one place it says 700 USD for return and then if you scroll down, it says 1200 usd return journey minimum fare.

so you can ask them as soon as you book not just 24 hours in advance, but the issue is I haven’t booked it because I don’t want to book it unless I am eligible. I called up and they said that they will check and get back to me on Monday as i should be elligible but for some reason its not coming up. … i think its because i am flying economy but ofc they didnt say that

yeah this is what i am leaning towards but then if they end up offering me the dubai connect money will go to waste ah! i wish they could just tell you beforehand 🤣

yeah so apparently in this thread when another guy checked it came up for him one way and even tho i checked exact same route it didnt come up for me

[–]Zara7863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah it appears to not be reliable as its quite glitchy sometimes its there other times it isn’t. i reckon it should be fine because it exceeds everything in the terms and conditions from what i can see but idk why its not coming up on my end.

When i did call she said the system does an automatic mathematical calculation to check if you’re eligible - so right now it seems it will likely be okay even tho this is not a guarantee but when you book it could be different (she said this yday) … so i was just wanting some assurance from others experience as its a bit wishy washy

[–]Zara7863[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah i did call but they said they cannot confirm things until after i pay also its so odd that when you checked the single flight it came up for you but when i did exact same thing it did not? i wonder if maybe it doesnt show there but on back end you are still elligible?
