"situation is getting worse"

(United Arab Emirates)

Not Verified | After some disruption in Dubai airport due to a storm, Emirates seems not to recover. The situation is getting worse and day by day more flights are cancelled and more luggage lost. Emirates has lost it completely and the management of Emirates is not putting all what it takes to go back on track. After 11 years of flying Emirates as platinum member I am evaluating the possibility of moving to Qatar airways or even Etihad. Emirates has wonderful inflight service but the lack of professionalism of the ground staff is killing the company

“spent 4 hours on hold”

(United States)

Trip Verified | Flights postponed due to weather, spent 4 hours on hold for an agent to rebook flight as we needed to be home on the 20th. Phone number sometimes worked and sometimes didn’t. Called 20 plus times. Headed to airport to speak to an agent in person while on the 4 hour call hold. Finally rebooked to New York but the original ticket was for Miami. Flight is at midnight and the airport wouldn’t let us through the gate so we are spending 6+ hours with no AC in hot conditions and my mum is elderly (70) and not in good health. Also told us that we had to pay our own fare to Miami from New York which cost an additional $800 which they said will not be refunded. Also we were told this at 10:30am when the flight was at 4pm today.

"never recommend this airline"

(United Kingdom)

Not Verified | Shocking service. I would never recommend this airline. Cancelled flight home and literally left everyone to fend for themselves. Long delays and everyones been messed about. Absolutely diabolical for being such a massive company. Would give 0 stars if allowed. Definitely not travelling with them ever again

"Emirates didn’t give any assistance"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | After the big storm in Dubai, my mother stayed locked in the airplane after landed for 8 hours, no food, no assistance, no information! She is 64 years old, she has problem to walk, I even requested the wheel chair and transfer assistance to take her from one gate to the other. After 8 hours, when they let the passengers out of the plane, she didn’t get any assistance and had to walk a lot, as we know Dubai airport is huge. She lined up for 3 hours to get a new board pass, they gave her a boarding pass for 08:20am on 17/04/24, but it was already 22:10 17/04/24 when they give it to her. She didn’t eat for this whole time. Now they booked her in for on flight at 09:05 on 18/04/24, let’s see. The problem is not rescheduled the flight due the bad weather, the problem was the Emirates didn’t give any assistance to the passengers.

“behaviour is totally not acceptable”

(India)

Trip Verified | We have boarded the flight from BOM to DXB on 04.04.2024 which was late because of a technical issue and the crew doesn't want to work over shift. The said flight reached the next day without any inflight food (BOM-DXB) instead of the same day creating physical harassment, mental harassment and financial losses (hotel & further tour charges got cancelled). Despite having active transit visa your staff kept us waiting for three hours at DXB airport for issuing current transit. My Flight no. EK 0506 which has original time of departure 9.30am (DXB-BOM) has not yet departed (till 10 pm) because of bad weather conditions but flight EK 0502 which has original departure time of 13.00 pm has already reached BOM. How come? It seems EK 0506 is not important, (bad weather is applicable to all flights). This behaviour and approach of Emirates is totally not acceptable & hence we here by demand compensation.

"I won't be booking Emirates again"

(Netherlands)

Not Verified | On both the outward and return flights, I or my travel partner sat on a broken seat. Yes, we had booked economically, but then you can expect a fully functioning chair, right? Our flight to Bali took more than twenty hours in total. The quality of the chairs was nothing to write home about. We arrived at all destinations broken. I bought a new suitcase in Bali. This one also arrived “broken” at home in Amsterdam. One flight with Emirates was apparently too much for this beautiful suitcase. After some correspondence back and forth with Emirates, the conclusion was that they could not do anything for me and would not take responsibility. My conclusion is therefore to take a look at other companies where service may still be expected. In any case, I won't be booking Emirates again anytime soon. My next flight to Bali is with our KLM. Zowel op de heen- als op de terugvlucht zat ik of mijn reispartner op een kapotte stoel. Ja, we hadden economisch geboekt, maar dan mag je toch wel een volledig functionerende stoel verwachten? Onze vliegreis naar Bali duurde in totaal meer dan twintig uren. De kwaliteit van de stoelen was niet om naar huis te schrijven. Gebroken kwamen we op alle bestemmingen aan. Op Bali had ik een nieuwe koffer gekocht. Deze kwam ook “gebroken aan” thuis in Amsterdam. Één vlucht met Emirates was blijkbaar te veel voor deze mooie koffer. Na wat correspondentie heen en weer met Emirates was de conclusie dat ze niks voor mij konden betekenen en de verantwoordelijk niet op zich namen. Mijn conclusie is daarom ook om eens te kijken naar andere maatschappijen waar misschien nog wel service is te verwachten. In ieder geval zal ik Emirates niet meer zo snel boeken. Mijn volgende vlucht naar Bali is gewoon met onze KLM.

"the worst I have traveled"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | It was my first ever travel with Emirates and I have no hesitation to say that it was my first and recent travel will be my last travel with this airline. I have been traveling around for 4 decades. This airline is the worst I have traveled. From boarding desk staffs to aircrews, they are unfriendly, utterly rude and disrespectful. Pathetic all across the board.

"absolutely unacceptable"

(Thailand)

Trip Verified | Do not fly with Emirates if you don’t like to be squashed by obese passengers. I pay full price and more for a flex ticket, but I only get 3/4 of a seat as the obese person next to me far is overflowing into my chair. When I insisted to be moved to another chair it took the staff 15 minutes for the cabin staff to even respond to my calls, they were too busy chatting at the crew area, I was watching them. I had to press the crew call button on and off over 20 times, that’s no exaggeration, before someone came to ask me what I wanted. After pointing out what was going on I was moved to the chair closest to the toilet, almost in the toilet, I could hear everything inside the bathroom. The seat they put me in sticks out into the aisle so every time the air hostess would walk past they would knock my chair, completely lacking awareness or care for the passengers. They really don’t care. it’s difficult to imagine a more incompetent bunch of cabin staff and management controlling an airline. It is 100% the last time I’ll ever consider flying Emirates. I didnt even have have space to even eat my meal so I couldn’t ask for my dinner I couldn’t rest without being leaned on and knocked constantly by the customer overflowing into my chair. This is absolutely unacceptable.
