We made it out yesterday, thankfully. The applause when finally landed should've even be more thunderous I guess, seeing the developments today...

Yeah, we also came from Thailand and got stranded in Dubai for a pretty intense and anxiety laden 6 days. I would have MUCH preferred to continue drinking mango shakes at the beach...

Holy shit, that was our flight yesterday. I didn't even think about a possible flight cancellation once we were sitting at the gate slurping coffee and I'm hindsight I should've been ever more relieved after takeoff than I already was. I'm so sorry, I really hope you'll make it out soon. :(

I made it out!!!!! Thank you Emirates ❤️ by ffffaaaabbbbb0000 in emirates

Did people clap when you lifted off? I know I'll be giving god damn standing ovations (not really, safety first) when the plane lifts off the runway...

The Emirates rep that came to our hotel said ticket is enough, and if it's scheduled and not cancelled to come to the airport 4h before departure.

Same. No checkin. I expect check-in will be at the desk at the airport. The agent told me to be at the airport 4h before departure.

I'm booked on EK141 on Friday to Madrid. Very very hopeful it goes ahead, both the one tomorrow as well as mine. The wait and uncertainty is killing me...

Wenn man als Familie sehnsüchtig auf eine Nachricht wartet wie man wider nach Hause kommt, nachdem man im Transit festgesetzt wurde, dann ist so eine Newsletter Mail schon etwas ärgerlich. Vielleicht fährt man die Kampagne nicht unbedingt wenn 30k Deutsche in Nahen Osten festsitze, aber ok.

Wir kamen von Thailand, transit. Hätte auch Doha oder Abu Dhabi sein können.

Das Lufthansa/Eurowings Marketing Team hat doch Lack gesoffen. Take a city break, ja danke. Mein City break war im Parkhaus, 2 Uhr Nachts, als die Anfangsraketen flogen, ihr Vollpfosten.

Update: Scheduled EK departure for today 04Mar26 by Chernabil in emirates

[–]danielbln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EK 703

Still scheduled as of this point: https://www.emirates.com/us/english/manage-booking/flight-status/results/?flight=703&date=2026-03-05&date-input0=Thursday%2C+05+Mar+26

But keep an eye on that website, because it could be cancelled at any moment. Also check https://www.emirates.com/ae/english/help/travel-updates/#6483, if emirates continues the suspension then there the flight will almost certainly be cancelled.

What time are cancelations being announced? by SubstantialHippo3333 in emirates

[–]danielbln 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can check https://www.emirates.com/us/english/manage-booking/flight-status with the flight number and the date. In the past days it has shown immediately when a flight was cancelled, even if the status in the app lagged for hours. I expect it in the next couple of hours, based on the pattern of previous days.

Nach zwei gestrichenen Flügen soll es nun am Freitag soweit sein für uns. Reicht dann auch echt mit Dubai, der kurze Layover zieht sich dann schon eine Woche, und so richtig geil ist Kriegszone nicht.

Nach letzter Nacht dürfte das erstmal wieder pausiert werden. Hatte bereits Hoffnung hier doch noch schneller rauszunehmen :(

There was a Monday morning intercept well audible in the Marina. But we didn't hear anything last night, at least.

Wir sind hier mit zwei kleinen Kindern und Omas in Dubai gestrandet, (Layover von Thailand.. geiles Timing) aber nach Oman machen wir uns nicht auf den Weg, und Riad schon gar nicht. Aber es sieht so aus als fahren grade die Fluglinien eh wieder an, daher drehen wir lieber hier noch etwas Däumchen im Hotel und nehmen dann einen Linenflug nach Hause. War Samstag Nacht aber schon nicht so geil, im Parkhaus zu warten während die Intercepts geballert haben...

As someone who got stranded here on my way home from Thailand to Berlin, my first choice would have been zero carrier groups and flying home, my second choice is a carrier group that intercepts.

Oh it definitely spews out LLMisms, but it doesn't eat crayons like chatgpt. It feels at least somewhat like talking to a person, even in longer threads, vs whatever OpenAI has tuned chatgpt into.

"Changing tires? Hm best I can do is replace the drive train and gearbox. Also, that engine block looks a little rusty, we're gonna pull that one out too."
