How to get a refund for my cancelled Emirates flight? 

Most of the time, you can get a full monetary refund of your plane ticket for your cancelled Emirates flight as long as you did not accept any alternative flight offered by the airline. 

Note that the airline is not bound to offer an alternative flight in the event of a cancelled flight. If this is the case, you can also ask for a full monetary refund of your ticket. 

 

Emirates offered me a travel voucher for my cancelled flight. What should I do? 

We usually advise against accepting travel vouchers from airlines. Here is why: 

  • By accepting a voucher, you are also forced to fly with the same airline in the future. Emirates might also put a time limit for the voucher redemption. 

  • Moreover, if Emirates ever goes bankrupt, it would be difficult for you to ask to change your voucher into a monetary refund. In other words, it is most likely that your money will be lost. 

 


Emirates flight cancelled, and you already accepted a voucher from the airline? 

You can still change it into a monetary refund! Trust our experts to get your money back!

Extraordinary circumstances — can Emirates deny my flight compensation claim?

In the event of a third party or force majeure delaying or preventing your flight from departing, Emirates would explain the delay or cancellations with the Extraordinary Circumstances. In those situations, Emirates won’t have to pay flight compensation to passengers.

Some of the Extraordinary Circumstances are: 

 

  • Bad weather conditions, such as thick fog, heavy rain, or thunderstorms.

  • A strike, most often specifically within the aviation industry (for example, a strike of air traffic control workers at a specific airport).

    However, a strike of the airline's crew is not considered an extraordinary circumstance!

  • Political circumstances, such as a terrorist attack or general security risk due to political unrest.

  • Natural disasters, including volcanic eruptions and hurricanes.

  • A collision between the aircraft and birds or other foreign objects.

  • An ill or unruly passenger.

  • Flight delays caused by the airport staff, such as extraordinarily long queues to security checks.

 

Be careful! Airlines may sometimes claim that your flight disruption happened because of extraordinary circumstances, while it wasn't actually the case! They do so in order to avoid paying passengers their well-deserved compensation.

Don’t be fooled by the airline and claim your flight compensation with Flight-Delayed.co.uk. Our experts will assess your claim and verify the airline’s opinion. We operate on a “no win, no fee” basis.

What is the time limit to claim Emirates flight compensation?

If you departed from the UK, the time limit to claim Emirates flight compensation is up to 6 years after your flight. Note that Scotland is the exception — there, you can claim for up to 5 years after your disrupted flight.

Generally speaking, the time limit to submit a claim depends on the law in:

  • The country of departure,

  • the country of arrival,

  • or the country where the airline is headquartered in. 

 

Side note: Since Emirates is not a European airline, the time limit will only depend on the legislation of the country of departure.

Generally, passengers claiming with Flight-Delayed.co.uk receive their flight compensation and refund within a few weeks / a few months after claiming on our website.
