My flight was delayed for 2 hours and 48 minutes. Because I would certainly miss my connecting flight, my reservation was changed directly by the airline to 24 hours later only at 3:17pm so less than 2 hours before the supposed flight while I was at the airport already, So my total travels were delayed 24 hours.

I'm in limbo since I asked for my ticket to be moved to 15/7. Five or six days to go, the Airline has not confirmed or done anything.

I reached the airport on time - 4 hours before the onboarding starts - came from Swiss to get my flight. After prolong wait - they told me wait for an hour to check - as they said your flight to Kabul is overbooked - no seat for - though I booked the tickets about two months ago - how could they gonna resell my ticket to someone else - possibly for higher prices - left me with no options - and the agents were saying all others for a week are booked - you should go we’ll refund you. Very unfair - non-professional- I stayed in Paris on my own - no accommodation and so. They said we cannot help. Even no voucher or so provided to help me to prove my case. Too unfortunate experience.

Emirates is blaming whether conditions for the delay, however, they could have never met the time owing to the delay in origin at DXB.

We had to wait in Dubai for 16hours without such planned intention and as a result suffered from a 16hours delay to our final destination.

John missed 2 days of work, Monday 3/7, and Tuesday 4/7 and as it is casual work he cannot claim this loss of income as holiday pay or pressing domestic necessity.

I lost £630. I was stuck at the airport until 0020hr when I got a Megabus service to Reading that was heading to Manchester. I failed to get to my final destination with no more funds to purchase another airfare.

We missed our spin home from Dublin airport due to the delay we were coming home as my grandfather had died, the funeral was over but the delay was very stressful for the family members waiting at the airport, my gran is 82 and they could not wait in Dublin any longer as she need to go home, a 2.5 hour trip
