Having participated actively in the UAE’s vaccination programme, Emirates is confident that travel will resume in a safe manner as we gradually restart operations across our global network. To date, over 35,000 Emirates employees have received their COVID-19 vaccine shot from one of the Emirates’ vaccination centres, with over 85% of airline pilots and cabin crew already completing two vaccine doses.
Customers can look forward to a safe and stress-free travel experience as Emirates has placed a heavy emphasis on health and safety with new comprehensive measures at every step of the journey. More information on these measures and the services available on each flight are accessible on the Emirates website.
Emirates’ booking policies offer customers flexibility and confidence when planning their travel. Customers who purchase an Emirates ticket for travel on or before 30 September 2021 can enjoy generous rebooking terms and options in case of any travel plan changes. Customers have the option to change travel dates or extend ticket validity for up to three years.
All Emirates customers can travel with confidence and peace of mind with the airline industry’s first, multi-risk travel insurance and COVID-19 cover. This cover is offered by Emirates on all tickets purchased on or from 1 December 2020, at no cost to customers. In addition to the COVID-19 medical cover, the airline also provides provisions for personal accidents during travel, winter sports cover, loss of personal belongings, and trip disruptions due to unexpected air space closure, travel recommendations or advisories, similar to other multi-risk travel insurance products. Some limitations and exclusions apply.
Customers are encouraged to check the latest government travel restrictions in their country of origin and ensure they meet the travel requirements of their final destination.
The exclusive offer that turns an Emirates boarding pass into a membership card is also back with a special extension this year, giving customers even more chances to explore the UAE for less. Emirates’ customers flying to and through Dubai from now to 30 September 2021 can enjoy My Emirates Pass benefits by simply presenting their Emirates boarding pass and a valid form of identification at any of the participating outlets. Offers include discounts in over 300 restaurants across the country and in over 35 spas in world-class hotels. The pass also unlocks offers at many tourist attractions including Atlantis Aquaventure and At the Top Burj Khalifa.
