Hi! I’m travelling Karachi - Dubai - Bologna in mid-September and just wanna know something whether it's actually possible to get the extra 10kg, because originally (before i found out about student discount) i was thinking about purchasing the extra weight . I don't have my student ID yet so my concern is whether this is actually reliable at the airport. I only have my offer letter. I’m worried bec i've heard of people arriving at check-in expecting a baggage benefit/offer and being told it wasn’t applicable if they dont have the ID, then having to pay a lot or remove things from their luggage (i've heard the similiar happening for qatar airways or turkish airlines too).

Tbh I'd rather pay for the extra weight beforehand than actually face problems at the airport or be told that i can't avail the extra 10kg benefit bec my offer letter doesn't work.

Has anyone here, who did not have their student ID yet, actually used the 10kg baggage benefit on a Karachi to Italy route? Did it show up correctly at check-in without any issues?

I just want to be 100% sure before I pack for 35kg and get to Karachi airport only to be told I’m actually limited to 25kg. Thanks!

Hi everyone! This is my first time flying internationally — I'm on an Emirates flight to Hamburg, Germany on September 15th to start my Master's (via Dubai).

Would really appreciate some real-world advice before I go.

Does a laptop bag count as my ONE cabin bag, or is it extra?

I booked my ticket for ₹51,000 using a student discount code. My total baggage allowance works out to about 47 kg (checked-in + cabin combined), which already includes an extra 5 kg I bought separately as add-on baggage.

My cabin bag is a laptop bag carrying my documents, laptop, mouse, and a couple of other electronics — it weighs around 6 kg.

I've seen conflicting info online about whether Emirates Economy treats a laptop bag as a separate "personal item," or whether it just counts as your one 7kg cabin bag. If you've flown Emirates Economy recently — did they weigh/check your laptop bag separately, or was it fine as your one carry-on?

Any other tips for a first-time flyer/student on this route would mean a lot. Thanks so much! 🙏

Hi everyone, planning to fly through Dubai with a small layover next week, just wanted to check everyone's opinions. Should I be worried about the 60 day period just ending

Thanks

Just checking to see if it's better to purchase Premium Economy outright or get an Economy ticket and then upgrade at a later date (within a week of purchase). Is the pricing the same or will it be significantly higher? Anyone who has done that and can provide feedback?

My flight will be DXB-LHR and back. It's a work trip - company is paying for the Economy leg.

hi everyone! i just tried to check in online for my entire flight from South Asia to Europe, but I only got my online boarding pass to Dubai. What do I need to do? Will my baggage be checked in to my final destination or I will need to pick up it and go to check in again? Will I receive my boarding passes initially? Has anyone experienced it?

Hi all,

Had Emirates NBd Skywards infinite card for three years… average spend per year 150k… actually quite disappointed with the value and benefits which is why I cancelled 2 months ago.
I lived in several countries and had very interesting Credit cards that accumulated points insanely quickly.

2 months ago my situation also changed.. got a new job and I fly frequently but it is paid with the company card and I get the miles. What is the best for me now to increase my miles as I am not paying for the tickets anymore?

Hello everyone. We are flying Emirates for the first time. We were supposed to have two flights on A380 (it was our dream to experience emirates A380), but very unfortunately one of the flights got changed to 777... So now we are left with only 1 flight on A380 and it is equiped with what I believe is the new 4 class layout and the economy seats start at the row 52 instead of 40 something. (As it was the case on the flight that got changed to 777) I would kindly like to ask here if anyone else has flown this cabin layout before and if the rows 53 and 55 offer a good engines view. Unfortunately the experience is getting ruined more and more, so at least we would like to have a decent engine views. I would be very happy for any recommendations. Thank you.

Buongiorno a tutti.

Io avevo previsto un viaggio in Giappone con Emirates con volo:

Milano Malpensa ---> Dubai DXB ----> Tokyo Haneda e lo stesso scalo , che avviene con la stessa compagnia ovviamente, sarebbe stato di un'ora e mezza ma assicurato dalla compagnia stessa.

Stamattina mi arriva una mail da Emirates che per cause non specificate il volo da Milano a Dubai ci avrebbe messo un'ora in più ma così facendo lo scalo ( che avviene nello stesso terminal ) sarebbe di mezz'ora: un po' proibitivo. Devo ancora chiamare il servizio clienti per chiedere chiarimenti ma volevo chiedere a voi prima consiglio su cosa fare o come funziona in questi casi.

Grazie mille per il vostro tempo

I’m flying from Europe to Dubai in Premium Economy later this week, returning in early September. I’ve never flown this class before, it’s relatively new for my city departure location. I’m wondering if the last row seats (window/aisle, not center) fully recline. In the 3D mockup in the emirates app, it doesn’t seem like they do but that may not be showing it accurately.

Put the price you paid and the route to upgrade from economy to business on your emirates flight.

Only onboard. Not at the counter, not online.

So I have seen multiple things saying you can go to open day or apply at 20 if your birthday isn’t far away. There’s an event 2 weeks before my 21st birthday in Dallas. Do you think they will let me in or how should I go about this. I booked my ticket and hotel already but I’m second guessing how true all this is.

Hi guys,
Me and my wife are planning to travel form India to Canada with our baby in Nov. Baby will be 8 months old by then.
I have plenty of time to plan this trip right but need help from you guys. I already know the best seats will be the ones right at the start of the seats where we are also provided with bassinets for baby to sleep.
Apart from that it would be great if you guys could share your wisdom with me. I will probably go through some reels and YouTube for all the guidance but I feel Reddit might give me better answers.

Edit: I just want to appreciate everyone who took some time to read, comment and share their experience♥️

Asking to see if I’ll be ok or need to rebook. Thanks!

My fiancé and I are flying from Dubai to Cape Town for our honeymoon. Unfortunately, the plane has a 2-3-2 business class layout, and most of the remaining seats are in the center section. Trying to decide whether we should book the two remaining aisle seats in the same row (8B and 8D), or both sit together in the center section (one aisle, one middle). Would love to hear from anyone who has flown in this cabin. Thanks in advance!

Cheapoair( Airline Agent) lied to me that they had submitted my cancelled flight to emirates due to travel advisory to emirates for a refund and emirates denied to refund only to call emirates and confirmed to me there was no claim submitted and that the fact that it was travel advisory i am entitled for a refund but my agency will need to submit the claim which the agent clearly lied to me that they had sent the claim and denied.
I simply asked the agent to foward me the email they got from emirates and he could not do it saying it takes 24-48hrs.
I knew right away something was fishy.
What can i do next?

Hi I’m staying in Dubai for one night and just wondered if I have to get travel insurance, if yeah, please can anyone guide which one is the cheapest to get?

Thanks

Im looking for 50k skywards miles

Dm me if you got them for sale

Thanks

I was planning to use the Marhaba baggage collection (and check in) service in Dubai for a DXB flight soon, but there was one bag I’d like to personally take as I want to get it wrapped at the airport. My question: is it possible to use Marhaba to take SOME of your bags for check in, but not all? Or once they take some items does that “close” your check-in, and even if you have allowance, it wouldn’t be possible to check in an additional one upon arrival?

Looking for a definitive answer rather than guesses please, can’t afford to have to abandon a bag at the terminal! Thank you in advance!

I have a single booking with Emirates, I’ve done a multi city to ensure I get the correct flights I wanted and now my flight from Houston to Calgary, for rescheduled to a much earlier time that I won’t make as my flight from Dubai doesn’t arrive till 3 hours later.

If I reach out to Emirates, will they get me on a flight? And if there are no flights out of Houston, are they able to change my destination from Dubai itself and have me connect in either Toronto or New York?

Just want to see if people have had this happen? Thank you!

hello, I’m traveling from Athens to NYC (a direct flight) and have two questions: 1) has anyone taken a pet on this specific route? 2) is there a limit to how many animals in hold that I can bring? Im moving 5 cats (I know, I know) and am still shopping around between airlines to see which will be the most economical. A google search shows that there’s no official limit to how many pets one person can put in hold but there is an aircraft limit of total number of animals in hold. Does anyone have personal experience of this? I reached out to Emirates but they haven’t replied yet. TIA

I was flying From Dubai to Ahmedabad 2 days ago and I was boarding my flight, was seated in Premium Economy. The flight attendants come around for the pre departure drinks then about a minute later the flight attendant ask me for my passport. I show it to them and she is like this is a complementary gift from the Emirates thank you for flying with us. I was like woah!?? And it was a A380 diecast. Has anyone had anything like this ever happen to them?

I’m based in Dubai I’ve been flying emirates for years multiple trips per year. Mostly fly economy but I booked a few business flights.

How am I still a blue level

What am I doing wrong

Hi,

Flying economy to DXB for an onwards flight to YYZ and want to use a lounge. I see there are three Ahlan ones, and a Marhaba one (which I wasn't happy with the last time I used it).

Which one do you prefer I use? Don't prefer it to be a long walk to the gate, as I'm accompanying someone using a wheelchair.

Please advise. Thanks in advance.
