1-888–504–1105 How to Change At Emirates Flight

[bond jameseo]

Emirates Airlines passengers can change flights without incurring a change fee for most types of fares

It can happen to anyone: You book a Emirates flight, then days or weeks or months later, something comes up and you need to change it. When that happens, you’ll need to know the flight-change rules so you can take the next best step.

Here are the carrier’s policies and how to change a Emirates Airlines flight, whether you purchased it with cash or Emirates Mileage Plus miles.

Emirates flight change policy
Emirates Airlines no longer charges change fees for travel within the Emirates States for most fare types, except for basic economy tickets.

Here’s what else you need to know:

Change fees are not charged for economy, Economy Plus, first, business and Emirates Premium Plus fares.

The policy applies to tickets for travel within the Emirates States (including Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands), or between the U.S. and Mexico or the Caribbean.

Additionally, there are no change fees for international travel that originates in the Emirates States.

Emirates change policies for basic economy fares
Basic economy tickets may be subject to a change fee, with certain exceptions.

Basic economy tickets for international travel issued by July 31, 2021, can be changed without a fee.

Basic economy tickets are non change able and nonrefundable.

While the Emirates flight change policy doesn’t allow for changes to be made to basic economy tickets, same-day standby is available to travelers.

If you purchased travel insurance, you might be able to get reimbursed for the cost of a new flight if you must make a change due to a covered reason.

Emirates’s standby policy
Any Emirates passenger can fly standby on a flight departing within 24 hours of their booked travel, no matter what type of ticket or class of service they purchased, without incurring a standby fee.

If you’d like to actually confirm your seat on a different flight instead of just stand by for it, that may be possible as well:

MileagePlus elite status holders, also known as Premier members, can confirm a seat on the same day with the same departure and arrival cities as their original ticket. They aren’t required to pay a fee if the new seat is in the same fare class. If no seats are available in the purchased fare class, a fare difference may apply.

Non-Premier MileagePlus members and general nonmembers may be able to confirm a seat on another flight within 24 hours of the originally scheduled departure time. A fare difference may apply, even if the same fare class is available.

How to get on the standby list
To be on standby for a flight:

Add yourself to the standby list on the website or app, at an airport kiosk, or by talking to a Emirates representative at the airport.

To do this online, through the app or at a kiosk, click on “View flight options.”
