charges for cancelation
My name is Ian Wilkinson I am a 63 year old disabled man who has had to cancel a trip of a life time to Dubai to celebrate my wifes 60th birthday on the 8th of August 2024 .Due to a Spinal Cord Stimulator operation I have had to cancel this trip because of the recovery time needed for the rearranged operation that was originally planned for 10th June . I today completed the refund with On The Beach holidays only to be told I had to pay Emerates 2oo pounds fee per person to cancel the flights I have never been so shocked and angry this has happened.I cant get over the fact Emerates will still sell the seats I have cancelled no doubt for at least the same price as I paid which was 1376 pounds but now also recieve an additional ammount of 400pounds from myself. Please tell me are Emerates usually in favour of taking money from disabled pensioners? . I really thought that Emerates were one of the better airlines and was so looking foward to this trip but I can see they actually are not that much better than the rest. Yours a very angry Ian Wilkinson- Manchester-Dubai

Denied boarding at Dubai Airport
Had a valid onward journey from Dubai to Heathrow on April 25th 2024. Was refused boarding at gate A10 in Terminal 3 of Dubai airport because of a check-in bag not being checked in. This is not a valid reason to deny a passenger boarding. In the end, I was forced by the Emirates flight supervisor at gate A10 to go back to a Emirates reservation desk at another part of Dubai airport causing me to miss my original flight and having to buy a completely new ticket to return home. This also for travel the next day so I had to stay in the airport for 14 hours more than I intended to stay. Disgraceful airline and staff, only concerned with overbooking and making money out of passengers (if not legitimately then by whatever dirty tricks they can get away with).- Dubai-London

Staff, Internet, Seat 24C
For the flight from Amsterdam to Dubai (AMS-DXB) on 14th June at 11:45 I paid for seat 24C 385 AED because I wanted a more comfortable seat. But this seat is on the emergency exit way and your staff disturbing passenger frequently. The Internet which I paid 16.99 USD was not connected during the whole flight (7 hours). I paid primarily to complain about the inflight service (Mrs Zoe), but it was not possible and I believe that the internet connection controls the aeroplane crew. For additional information please contact me. Emirates had excellent service before and I enjoyed flying with you.- Amsterdam-Dubai

Rude Behavior by Gate Supervisor, Shameem (382094)
I was treated very poorly and rudely by the gate supervisor, Shameem (Employee number 382094). Shameem has no ethics on how to speak to a customer. She was forcing me to check-in my hand luggage which I wasnβt able to do since I had extreme valuables in it. She showed 0 remorse considering Iβm with a wheelchair passenger. At the end, all the overhead bins had plenty of space. The complaint is not mainly on the hand baggage check in but on how poorly the situation was handled by Shameem. Keeping this aside, Shameem was extremely rude, was ordering me instead of requesting and was embarrassing me in front of the other passengers. I didnβt choose Emirates to be humiliated like that especially considering that itβs one of the best airlines in the world. Shameem ruined my whole flight experience and I wasnβt able to enjoy it since the whole mood was spoiled. Iβm with a wheelchair passenger and this is how she treated me. Very disappointed.- Dubai-Hyderabad

Issues experienced in Dubai 16th April
Complaint Ref LON/X/AD/050524/8045000 I've tried many many times to get this response uploaded on the link in the email that I received, but failed every time with a message that made no sense!!!! Thank you for your response in relation to the problems that we faced on 16th April. Whilst we accept that the weather was unique and unprecedented, the lack of any meaningful response during this event was extremely disappointing. As I wrote previously, once we got in front of a member of your staff, things began to happen, albeit slowly, which was understandable. The hotel that was arranged for us in Dubai was very comfortable. Your offer of the airmiles is appreciated. With regards to the loss of my duty free (Β£120 worth of malt whisky), is there any possibility of compensation? The bag was clearly double-sealed and identified, thus I was surprised that the airport staff, who, I accept, aren't your members of staff, confiscated this item, even although this was the third time that we passed through this control point, the first 2 occasions being allowed through with no comments. I would have thought that, given the circumstances, some form of allowance could have been made. We await your response. John and Christine Beaton- Tokyo-Dublin
