Five ways Emirates is helping customers travel with greater confidence

Emirates has reiterated that it continues to give customers greater flexibility and more choice, as well as the ability to tailor their travel plans for more peace of mind, from booking to the moment they arrive at their destination.

The latest measures implemented by the airline range from free date changes, reduced refund fees and greater flexibility and savings for Emirates Skywards members.

Unlimited free date changes to Dubai: From 10 August 2026, customers travelling to Dubai can change their travel dates as many times as they need, free of charge, across every type of fare. Unlimited, free of charge changes run across Saver all the way through to Flex fares in Economy, and for Special, Saver and Flex fares in Business Class.*

Economy Flex Plus, Premium Economy, Business Flex Plus and First Class fares continue to remain fully flexible.

Refunds, at a fraction of the cost: Emirates has also substantially reduced refund fees on flights to Dubai to US$50 on Saver fares and US$25 on Flex fares in Economy. In Business Class, refund fees will be US$50 on Special and Saver fares and US$25 on Flex fares.** Together with unlimited free date changes to Dubai, this latest measure means customers can adjust or step away from a booking with minimal penalties, whatever their circumstances.

A free date change anywhere across the network: Customers travelling anywhere on the Emirates network receive one free date change on tickets booked from 2 April 2026, including journeys connecting through Dubai. Customers can also hold a fare for 24 hours at no charge while they finalise their plans.*

Rebooking and accommodation: Where flights are disrupted, Emirates will support with accommodation directly for impacted customers. Where onward connections on other airlines are affected, or Emirates services are unavailable, customers are rebooked to their destination at no additional cost, including where cancellations are caused by airspace disruptions.

More flexibility and savings for Emirates Skywards members: Emirates Skywards members can get more from their journeys, with greater flexibility, more opportunities to progress their tier and additional savings when using their Miles.

Until 31 August 2026, members can benefit from 20% fewer Tier Miles required to reach Silver, Gold and Platinum status; 20% bonus Tier Miles on Emirates and flydubai flights; more savings with Cash+Miles, with a special rate of 2,000 Miles = USD 30, instead of the usual USD 15, when using Miles towards Emirates or flydubai flights, excess baggage, lounge access and seat selection.
