Emirates allows eligible bookings to be changed through Manage Your Booking. Depending on the fare conditions, a voluntary change may involve additional charges or a difference between the original fare and the replacement itinerary.
If the booking was made through a travel agent, Emirates directs the traveler back to that agent for changes. Identifying who issued the ticket is therefore an important first step before attempting to rebook an agency-issued Emirates itinerary.
For eligible bookings, Emirates says travelers can use Manage Your Booking to change flight dates, departure times, connecting flights or cabin class.
Before confirming, review the full replacement itinerary, cabin, connections and total price difference.
Emirates displays the price difference before eligible online changes are confirmed. The amount required can depend on the fare conditions, new flights and requested changes.
Review the complete cost before an exchange or reissue is completed.
Emirates says travelers who booked through a travel agent need to contact that agent to make changes. Agent-issued tickets may therefore follow a different servicing path from bookings purchased directly from Emirates.
Have the ticket information, booking reference and requested new itinerary ready.
A changed ticket may need to be repriced and exchanged or reissued so the new itinerary and applicable ticket value are correctly reflected.
Emirates states that, depending on the fare conditions, online changes may still be possible after part of a journey has been flown. A partially used ticket should be reviewed differently from a completely unused ticket because the remaining itinerary and value can depend on the flown portions and fare rules.
If you need to change the return after departure, review the remaining flight coupons first. See partially used ticket assistance.
Emirates says online changes apply to all passengers in the booking. If only one passenger needs a different flight, the traveler should contact Emirates or the travel agent that made the booking rather than changing the entire party online.
This can be especially important for families or groups when only one traveler needs a different return date or connection.
Emirates allows eligible customers to review cabin-class changes and upgrades through its booking-management tools. Premium-cabin availability can change by flight and itinerary, so confirm the cabin on every replacement segment before completing a ticket change.
For First Class or Business Class changes, compare the replacement flight, connection, cabin availability and total repricing. See our First Class ticket exchange assistance.
Emirates itineraries can involve a connection in Dubai. A change to one flight can affect onward connections, return travel or other segments in the same booking, so review the complete itinerary rather than only the flight being changed.
If another airline is involved, also verify the operating carrier, ticketing source and availability on every affected segment.
An airline disruption is different from a voluntary passenger change. Emirates says that when an Emirates flight is disrupted it will first try to rebook the traveler on the next available Emirates flight. If connecting or return flights are affected, those segments may also need review.
Travelers should check the current flight status and booking before making separate arrangements.
If a delay or schedule disruption puts an onward connection at risk, review the full booking before changing or abandoning a segment. On international itineraries, a missed connection can affect later flights and the remaining ticket.
See our missed flight assistance for broader ticketing considerations.
Emirates states that refund eligibility depends on the fare conditions. Some tickets may become nonrefundable after travel has started, and the refundable amount on a partially used ticket may not be proportional to the number or distance of unused flights.
For travel-agent-issued tickets, Emirates directs travelers to the issuing agent for applicable refunds. Review the ticket status and remaining value before canceling an itinerary you may still want to change.
If a voluntary change creates a high fare difference, the preferred replacement flight is unavailable or the existing ticket is highly restricted, compare the cost and conditions of a new itinerary before deciding.
Do not abandon the original ticket until its remaining value and onward segments have been reviewed. Search available flights or call BookMyReservations to review available travel options.
Have the passenger name, Emirates itinerary, travel dates, origin and destination, booking reference or ticket information, and preferred replacement date or flight ready. Do not send payment-card information by email.
