156+ reviews added so far. Upset? Call Emirates Airlines corporate:No Reviews
Very bad customer service, my flight delayed for 2 days and no any compensate and the team have poor customer service to deal with the clients. My work affected and no one cars while complained to the crew. I need someone to call me and compensation is in order as well.
I received an email informing me that the airline had had to change my flight ( I had booked it over a month earlier via lastminute.com). Quite apart from there being a mis-connection on the new itinerary, it meant that I had to wait a lot longer between flights. I contacted Lastminute.com and requested that they put me through to Emirates to speak with them and the travel agent ( Lastminute.com) to explain how inconvenient ( apart from wrong) the new itinerary was.The person I spoke to at Lastminute.com was Jigar and the person at I presume Emirates Customer Service was Rose. This only happened today 04/04/2015. I am still shocked at the level of un-proffessionalism, rudeness and utter disrespect shown by Emirates today.
It really did seem like Rose was annoyed at having been asked to speak to the customer as she said to Jigar that he should have looked into all aspects of re-booking before involving the customer in a conference call ( I , the customer, asked for this call and I said this to Rose but there was only silence as a reply) and kept speaking to Jigar as if he was totally inept- all the while I was listening as it was a conference call and of course Rose was aware of this as she spoke to me too. She was condescending beyond belief, I cannot comment on the periods during the call when both Jigar and Rose were speaking and I was on hold but no matter how frustrating, her response was not justified. And the fact that she carried on knowing I was also a part of the conversation, shows that she also could not care less about how I , the customer, felt and she thus showed no respect towards me either. Emirates, have flown with you a number of times and I am a Skywards member but this could very well be the last time I do so.
If this is the standard of customer service one can expect, it will be. I expect a reply and do sincerely hope that you address this issue with the department in question. I can only describe this as a surreal and unpleasant experience.
Upon checking in, I upgraded my flight using my miles to Business Class as I wished to be seated in a seat in which I would be able to sleep. After 2-3 hours of settling into my seat, post breakfast, I requested a mattress as I intended to sleep. My request was ignored by the steward. Only after a further request was the action fulfilled, where I had to put the mattress on my own seat. Previously this had been done for me. I was annoyed even more so when I saw that other passengers were having their mattresses laid down for them. When laying down my own mattress, I noticed that my seat was also dirty. Dry mucus was on the seat as well as the canopy enclosing my seat.
As we proceeded into the flight, I tried to get some sleep. Every attempt to sleep was jeopardised as the stewards would stand in the aisle next to my seat and engage in useless conversations about other passengers. After many failed attempts at sleeping, I asked the steward if he could please move as he was interrupting my sleep by holding the curtain open, flooding noise and light from the bar behind, directly into my seat. My request was ignored. I requested on numerous occasions for a bottle of water, these were continuously ignored, even though other passengers were being offered them. After much frustration, I specifically asked the steward for a bottle of Voss as I had seen the steward restocking other passengers personal minibars with a tray full of Voss bottles. My request was immediately and explicitly rejected by steward, who instead gave me a glass of water.
The general attitude of all the stewards towards me was rude, obnoxious and unhelpful. Not once was any proactive service given to me and every request was seen as a chore. I was made to feel guilty every time I made a request. Why was I treated so unfairly at all instances throughout the flight? Why did the staff single me out?After a disappointing and tiring 24 hour flight, I was further dissatisfied when my luggage arrived second to last, even though it was marked Business Priority. As you can see from the above, the Business Class flight was not worth the 45000 miles I paid. I wish for a full refund of the miles to my account, or for my future flight to Australia to be upgraded to Business or First Class.
Emirates book my tripped with two stops on my way back from Islamabad Pakistan to Dubai and Dubai to Italy and Italy to Newyork and from Newyork to Los Angeles my home city. I was traveling with my son with 4 checked in bags and two hand Carry. When we eventually reached LAX our luggage was lost After few days my luggage with 3 bags opened and stolen stuff reached home and one was lost. it's been two months now the bag has not been traced as of yet.I feel helpless because the compensation they are giving me does not match my loss . I want to know if anyone could help me to pursue this matter By the way I paid the ticket to emirates and emirates on my coming back trip made me travel on Jet Blue from Newyork to Lax Please help and guide where to go
I am sure you all are familiar with #Emirates Airline. you all must be familiar with their tall claims of being World class. they claim to be providing with best customer service in the industry. they claim to be providing best Flight experience of all time. they are all just claims and plain lies. I have been traveling with Emirates for more than 10 years. i have seen them perform to a good level . now I am seeing their decline. For starters they are Arrogant as hell. I will tell all of you about my recent Experience on an emirates Flight in detail below.
On 1st February 2015 i was traveling on EK 623 Lahore to Dubai and then from Dubai to Amsterdam on EK 147. My first Flight was supposed to Fly at 9.20 P.M but it was late for 45 minutes and it's not the first time. when ever I fly from Pakistan to Dubai or from Dubai to Pakistan Emirates is always late and almost never ever on time. so Flight took off late and then off course landed late. and then we didn't even get the terminal. we landed farrr from terminal and then took stairs down to bus. that bus took another 20 minutes to go to the terminal. this is absolute crap service from Emirates. I have never ever seen European or American flights getting the stairs. it happens on Pakistani Flights. SO Emirates Discriminates as well. after landing in Dubai we were suppose to get a hotel stay. we were entitled to it. but we were denied the hotel stay we were told that we were suppose to book it ... whattt? we were never told that we were responsible for booking for our hotel stay? i never get that in email. I get all other crap from Emirates about new offers, new destinations crap but not about my hotel stay which was going to be actually helpful to my Flight Experience? i was not traveling alone i was with 2 brothers. we were three. Emirates could have taken initiative and offer their returning and loyal customers some comfort. if not hotel at least they could have given us a lounge to spend 8 hours. but no because they are arrogant.
We had to pay 450 Dollars to stay in a lounge for 4 hours. Emirates was useless. i was very angry about it. but since i could not do any thing at that time i kept quiet and took my next flight. which was EK 147. which was supposed to fly at 8.20 A.M and look at that we were on time. this flight was all right. since it was going to Europe so obviously standards had to be good. The food was cold and dry. Again Pathetic Service By emirates. Upon Landing in Amsterdam i got hold of free wifi. and started tweeting about this Bad experience . Emirates got in touch and told me to lodge an official complaint. which i did. what happened to that complain i will tell at the end.
On 10th Feb i took EK 52 From Munich to Dubai. which was fine no problems as i said European and other countries' flights get better treatment. i had a stay of about 20 hours. i got the hotel from Emirates. which was as bad as their service. but not that bad. sinks and showers were blocked. but any way. my flight to Lahore was on 4.10 A.M on 11th Feb. we went to air port on time. looked at the gate and went for shopping. Luckily before going to the gate we were suppose to go to we checked screen and the gate was changed. we went to the new gate. but there were furious customers arguing with Emirates staff about changing the gate at last-minute. there were old men and women who had difficulty to walk . Emirates did no announcement and people had to run to the new gate. this is the level of Service Emirates has fallen to. I bet They would never change the gate of Any other Countries Flight. this honor only goes to Pakistanis. they think we are beneath them. Emirates is arrogant and Racist.
Now about The Complaint i lodged. i was told I will get a response in 30 days but their rep got in touch sooner. I explained every thing. but that Representative said this was fault of my Agent. i mean look at the common sense of the man who is From Customer Affairs. He simply said we can't do any thing and its your Agent's fault. how could that be my agent's Fault? my Agent works on a commission . Emirates is the one who takes all the money to their bank Accounts. Doesn't Common sense dictates to Facilitate Your 3 customers who are stranded on an airport. Some how Comfort them rather than pointing fingers. Should they have given us a lounge? . I mean come on we paid 3500 Dollars for three tickets. don't we deserve good quality service? if we didn't book hotel whose fault is that? I say Emirates. if they can email me about Crap Promotions they certainly can email us about booking your hotel stay. I had traveled to USA from Lahore before. Emirates offered me Lounge when my Lay over was less than 3 hours. was not it common sense to give us at least a lounge ? And I am their Sky Ward Member. if they can do this to me, their regular Customer. what will they do to New Customers?
Does Emirates Facilitate us when we are late? When our luggage is over weight? why should i let it go? I decided to write this blog. because of their Arrogance and Racism. i want them to provide high Quality Service to Pakistani Flights . i want them to take their Customers Seriously. i will not keep quiet. i will keep writing about it. i will write to Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum of Dubai if i have to. they can't take us for granted. i mean how could they blame it on my agent or me? you can send me Crap about New routes but you can't inform me the booking hotel for your transit is my responsibility? how hard it that? one email could have saved them this trouble. i will never ever travel with those arrogant, racist idiots. I am never ever giving them business. this Blog is for Public Awareness. stand up for your rights. these Corporate Companies don't Own us. They run on Our Money. If they can't respect us they can go to hell.

My family and I have always been an Emirates customer. As a matter of fact, just in the past 3 years, my family and friends have used Emirates over 25 times. Needless to say, I am very disappointed in the service that I received on Dec 19th . I had never expected Emirates to treat me like the way the manager did at the LAX airport. A Women was beyond rude and threatened me very bad and she was actually yelling at me beside talking very nicely like other air line's employed.
The Problem was that I received another carrier bag (form some one to take with me) after I checked in my Luggages then I showed the carrier bag to the lady that I had to get my Lunch Ticket for Dubai and i asked her if this is fine to take in the air plane or not and she said if you already checked your luggages in it's OK just take it. Finally I passed the gate and and one of the employees told me that you will not be charge for that but just let me check this in for you as a luggage because it's a little bit bigger that carrier bag.
I fallowed her but when she was talking o me Very disrespect full and saying that you have to pay $175 for this or I don't let you go with this flight.but at the end she charged me $50. they way she was talking to me in front of other passengers made me feel shame, no one had talked to me like that before her. I felt really sorry for Emirates at that point I've never expected Emirates to Hire someone like her.
Emirates is Spending Millions and Millions Dollar on advertising to get more and more customer but it will loose it's customer by having this kind of managers or employees.
I heard that even if I write a complain latter to Emirates they will not care about your complain and they will continue what they are doing.
But I really appreciate it if you take this series and think about her position in your company, because even if she don't treat other please like that anymore, at least Emirates will loose 20 to 30 of it's customer because if i go back to U.S.A next month and see her still working in her position I will think that you did not even read my Email and you won't care about it.
Dear Customer Affairs Executive,
This mail is regarding my complaint for the entire process in which I was charged 125 GBP for extra cabin luggage.
Before jumping into conclusions I would expect you to go through all the details below and then try to understand my view point.
Flight Booking reference: FZQH62
1) I travelled from BLR-DXB-MAN on 15th March 2013 with a 6kg trolley bag plus a laptop bag as cabin baggage. Apart from this I had checked-in luggage of total 28 kg. There were no issues at airport and I reached Manchester on 16/03/13 without any problems.
2) This is the case for all my travels; and amongst all colleagues and friends (frequent travelers) this is a clear understanding that a laptop bag is additionally allowed apart from the specified quota of 5-7 kg cabin baggage.
3) Similarly for Female passengers, hand purse is not counted as cabin baggage. My wife (Zeenat Ayesha) travelled through the same route on 19/01/2013 (Booking Ref: M0XQWY) with a trolley bag, hand purse and a laptop bag.
4) While returning from Manchester to Bangalore on 13/04/2013, my wife came to the airport to see me off. We reached close to 3 hours before the flight departure time.
5) We went to the check-in counter of Emirates and I checked-in two bags (totally weight 29kgs).
6) Then the executive asked if I am carrying cabin baggage. I replied that I am carrying two. A trolley bag plus a laptop bag.
7) She replied "Sir, only one bag is allowed". I was shocked as this was happening for the first time with me.
8) Instantly I replied that this is the way I travelled from BLR to MAN few weeks back with the same airline i.e. Emirates.
9) The lady at the counter didn't say anything and handed over the boarding passes for MAN-DXB and DXB-BLR flights to me.
10) It was obvious for me to assume that she had considered my reasoning and I had been allowed to travel with above bags
11) All these things, happened within 10-15 minutes and then I decided to go to security; After ensuring the check-in is successfully over, my wife also left airport for Liverpool.
12) I got my security done and after doing some time pass, I went to area around gate #12 and sat on the chairs beside the gate.
13) After sometime the staff started checking boarding passes and allowing passengers to enter gate #12
14) I also went and but was shocked when I was told that I cannot travel with the two bags.
15) I again tried to explain my points but was rudely told that they did not have time to speak to me and I was holding the queue and many others were waiting to check in.
16) I was asked to choose whether to throw the extra luggage or pay for it. They were so discourteous in their tone that they were not ready to hear anything. May be they were busy with boarding, that means they were not the best person to handle cases of extra luggage. It should have been ideally done earlier at check-in counter.
17) Due to the pressure i was put under by the staff, I dint have any other option but to pay 125 pounds for the laptop bag. How can a person choose to throw the gifts which he has purchased with love for friends and relatives?
18) I also got dismayed with the way the entire payment process was handled. I was not carrying cash so I chose to pay by HDFC international credit card. One staff asked me to stand near the boarding counter as she needed some detail for the card I gave to her. Withing seconds the other staff member asked me to not to stand there. I was disgusted with the way I was treated over there. As if I was a criminal and the staff was doing me a favor by allowing me to travel. I got very frustrated.
19) At the same time I noticed many economy class passengers sitting in boarding area with two bags (I am not counting duty-free bags). So this made me feel more bad. Was I singled out there? If yes, for what reason? Did I look like a fool to them?
20) Finally the payment process got over and I started my journey to Bangalore.
I hope the above details will help you in visualizing the series of events that took place with me.
Right after that moment this incident is haunting me like anything. I have not been able to sleep after reaching back to Bangalore. When I close my eyes, the same scene and the way it was handled comes into my mind. The current time here in Bangalore is 03:01 AM.
If Emirates staff at check-in counter was sure about not letting me with two bags without being charged extra, why she didn't reply to response and told about the extra charges. At that time my wife was with me. I could have transferred 2 kg into check-in bags (which was 28 kg) and returned the empty laptop bag with my wife.
What else could I have understood if she chose to remain silent and issued the the boarding passes to me.
And later during boarding when there is not much time left for the flight and your boarding staff are busy, they suddenly brought the topic of paying extra or throw your belongings. How can you throw the gifts which you have purchased with love for friends and relatives? So pay for it?
What do I understand from the way the entire thing was handled. It's so difficult for me to believe but yes now I feel I have been cheated by Emirates through some staff members at that airport. Issues related to extra luggage or buying extra luggage need to be handled during check-in and not when your flight is scheduled to depart in sometime.
Now I am writing this mail to you so that you look into the issue and refund the amount incorrectly charged from me and compensation for the distress it has caused in my life. This could have been easily avoided if extra luggage issue was sorted at check-in counter.
I look forward to hearing back from you soon. Let me know in case you need any more information on this.
Thanks and Regards,

It was our first flight with Emirates and it will be the last.
We checked in at Birmingham International (UK) yesterday, 11 April 2013 at around 5.30pm at Row 81 (flight was scheduled to depart at 9.20pm). There were 3 of us so the total baggage we were allowed should be 90 kg (30kg each) but the (Asian) staff either did not know this or play ignorant. He 'greeted' us with '60 kg only!'. He then agreed and gave us ONE pen to fill up all the tags. He not only would not provide aother pen, he went on to hurry us as if it was late or there was a long queue. Note this, there was only 1 passenger behind us as we were checking in way early!
Throughout the whole checking in, there was not a little nicety coming from this staff, he was cold like we owed him something or offended him, there was no eye contact, no hint of a smile. After we finished, I stood back to observe how he handled the passengers (an Asian couple) behind us. He was all smiles, friendly and looking up with eye contact.
We were full paying passengers and should be treated the same as other passengers. This was a very bad experience.
Dear sir/Madam,
My name is Mr. Mohamad Riyaad Moosuddee and my Skywards reference number is 130218583.
I am writing to you today to relate several incidents which occurred to me whilst travelling through your reputed airline, namely Emirates Airline. On 1st March 2013 I booked for a multiple destination ticket and ticket number is 176 3039863947-48
The incidents are as follows.
On the 4th March 2013 I called the ticketing office in Dubai from Bangkok at 5pm (Bangkok time) to make changes to my ticket for the trip Singapore to Dubai, as I was not fit for travel for medical reasons. The ticketing office told me to go to the Emirates office in Bangkok to pay for the penalty to issue the STPC in Bangkok itself. However the office in question was already closed and I went on the 5th March 2013 at 9 am (Bangkok time) to pay for the penalty fee (see attached Receipt). Whilst there, the lady at the counter in Bangkok Office told me that I can pick up the STPC at the Singapore airport to collect the STPC before check in. On 6th March 2013, at my bitter surprise, at check in at Singapore, the person at the check in counter told me that there is nothing on the system and that I shall contact Dubai directly.
From Singapore to Dubai (Flight number EK 433) at lunch time I was offered a fork which was not clean, and contained stains which resembled animal excrements. It was a horrible and disgusting experience which made me extremely uncomfortable throughout the flight. And I could not eat anything as I was nauseous (See attached Video to this email) I presume that Emirates Airline has a duty of care towards its passengerâs health and safety and also that Emirates airline has the responsibility to check and ensure that spoons and forks provided on board shall respect a minimum hygiene standard. I immediately called upon the hostess in charge on the flight (Ms. Nicole Clarneiro) telling that I wish to speak to the senior Flight purser to complain about this incident. She told me that there is no need to call the senior staff as she will take the responsibility to report the issue and that she will ensure that I am contacted at a later stage for a feedback on the matter. Unfortunately, till date, nothing has been done and I was never contacted, and that is why I am writing this email today.
Arriving in Dubai to enquire about my STPC, The lady on the counter told me very rudely that âwe cannot do anything for you Mr.â This happened on the 6th of March at around 1 PM on my arrival at the ticketing counter. Being in a very sick state due to the incident on the flight EK433 I was extremely disappointed and my health condition worsened due to lack of food. I needed rest, but due to the lack of professionalism and lack of care from your member of staff I had to endure hardship. I had no option than to stay at the airport for 14 hours.
I am seriously affected and concerned by the way I was treated by your members of staff. I am a frequent flyer, and I surely do not wish to repeat this kind of experience. I am completely unsatisfied by the way I was made to believe that my feedback would be taken up. I am disgusted by the dirty fork that I received on your flight, and I find it extremely unprofessional to be treated poorly by your staff at the ticketing counter in Dubai. As I did not receive any STPC when I paid for my penalty fee, I believe that I received only a partial service for a full payment that I have made. I expect a minimum level of customer care when choosing to travel through your airline.
May I humbly request your utmost consideration to this email.
I will be at your disposal should you require more information with respect to this email
Yours truly,
Moosuddee Mohamad Riyaad

The service of Emirates for Business Travellers is quite bad. I travel 300,000 miles per year and I expect to have accurate information, easy check in and a hassle free experience. This is how Emirates compares to Lufthansa (Business Class): Emirates charges an average 800% premium vs. Economy tickets and gives 75% more miles (LH 100%); Emirates does not have an Iphone application at all (in LH allmy data is stored and I check in in 2 clicks); Emirates has a policy of announcing Boarding (instead of gate open) 60 minutes before departure (on Oct 29th for flight 59 that was the case). People were sitting on the floor. The gate sent a Business Class passenger to the lounge at 8:10 and asked him to came back 40 minutes later.Then he was told the gate was closed, had to take a flight 6 hours later and pay a $250 fine (all was documented with names and sent to the Senior VP). He was asked to go to gate H for re-ticketing and wait in line (EK does not have a line for Business Class tickets at service gate H, LH always does). I travel once per year with my family. At LH, I am allowed to accesss the lounge with my family (2 young children). At Emirates, I was not (even as a Gold Member and Business Class passenger).
I travelled to dubai on 29 april 2013 on emirates flight ek026 with my mother Beryl Khan.
we returned back on friday 3rd May 2013 flight ek 025.
My mother who has MS is unable to walk a long distance and therefor has a wheelchair. I booked both sides of the journey for wheelchair assistance which i got going out, but on returning at Glasgow airport she was left sitting on the plane for 25 minutes because no one came with a wheel chair. Eventually i took her arm for support and very slowly decided to make the long journey by walking which was very difficult fot her. Half way through the terminal some one came with a wheel chair but with no one to push it, was told you need to do it yourself.By this time everyone who had come off this flight had collected their luggage and left the terminal and we were just still walking off the flight. I had to push the wheelchair while pulling two inflight bags. Eventually at baggage collection i got her own wheelchair sat her in it but again could not push the chair as i had a trolley full of baggage off of the convarebelt. Once again she had to get off the wheel chair and push it herself which again was very distressing for her.As i had to push the trolley.
What I want to know is that if i had requested a wheelchair with assistance then why did we not get it, and if this is the service emirates provides then i will certainly not be travelling with emirates again, i want justice for my mothers inconvenience and mostly her distress, her MS leaves her very agitated which does not help when things like this happen. What are emirates going to do with this situation as i brought this to the ground staffs attention and gave my mothers details to them so that this information can be verified.
Please reply on receipt.

Dear Sirs,
I had an unfortunate and annoying experience on my return flight from Chennai in India on the 8th of March 2013.
As I had already checked in online I was standing in that particular line. All of a sudden 3 different porters barged in front of me with 3 different families and made them stand in front of me. When I objected to it one of the Emirates men came across to me and asked me to get to the back of the line. As the emirates person totally ignored me a kind gentleman let me in front of him as he also thought what the emirates man did was very wrong. Later to my surprise I also saw him take a back hander (bribery) from the 3 families. This is very disgusting to think this is what goes on in Chennai airport and I did not expect it from the Emirates employees.
This was not all of it. Before leaving to the airport I had checked my bags and was positive it was within the 30 kgs, and my hand luggage was and bit over 5 Kgs. But to my surprise the man at the check-in desk says it was 32 kgs. When I queried this he said 'if you want maam you go to another counter but you will have to join the line again'. I had already been pushed back in the line initially by the porters and I was not prepared to be sent back in the line. So I ended up paying 2700 rupees.
It makes me think what is the point in getting the luggage weight all within the 30kgs and the carry on luggage within the 6 kgs when at the airport check in desk the weight seems to be far higher and also the person behind the check in desk is rude and has an attitude problem. As I was travelling alone and nobody to discuss this with I had to cut my losses and walk away. This made my return flight all stressed out and fed up.
Also once inside they never even bothered to announce the gate number or put it on the information board. Many passengers witnessed some of the emirates passengers having an argument with the emirates employee because of this.
Unhappy passenger,
M.Rao.

I was traveling to AMMAN on Oct 18, 2012 with the E-ticket number 1762282821653C1 and flight (EK901) with my brothers and returning on Oct 21, 2012 flight (EK904) and both flight going to Amman and returning to dubai was delayed on time
when returning in Amman -queen alia intl arpt, gate 11 , we requested the check in counter that we are together and we need our seat together and he agreed and we did not double chk the boarding pass (assuming he put us together) - when we are at gate 11 waiting the flight to board the boarding counter person called me and said that i wanted to change the seat and i did not agree but he change it saying something wrong with the seat ( and not to make any trouble or problem in airport i kept quiet and i said i will file complain)
the flight was full and i checked my seat and no problems with it and an old lady was seated their and out of respect i did not say anything but really i felt heart for all these changes for my seat and my brother and my sister
also the flight was delayed around 1 hr, seats are small and prices not cheap
so we had a really bad experiences with emirates air line and
we will never choose this courier again...................................... never ... never , sorry but we were expecting more from a professional courier like Emirates Airlines
thank you and regards

On April 22, 2013, I left the Fairmont Palm in Dubai to travel to the Airport - I was traveling with 6 pp and we left 2 at a time to arrive at the airport - 2 hours before departing on EMIRATES FLIGHT 241 at 9:55. We had pre-assigned seats. The line up was not that long however was taking a very long time. My collegaues were ahead of my travel partner, Susan Lanc and me. Upon reaching the counter , we were told that the flight was full and they were asking for volunteers to take the next flight which was not direct and left about 3am on April 23rd. We were not checked in and asked to wait. We went away to get a coffee and make plans to arrive in Toronto the next day - phone calls and arrangements etc. We then went back to the counter to advise that we wanted to volunteer to take the next flight as the future free travel on Emirates was motivating to us. They asked us to wait while the 4 other people traveling with us got upgraded to Business Class. We were all Incentive winners for Fairmont Hotels and Resorts.
After a while , after the check in closed, we were called and given the last 2 middle seats available . We had made arrangements to stay, rebooked the hotel, phone calls, etc. We had to rush through security just in time to make the flight. We were not able to shop at Duty Free which was totally our intention. I am writing this letter to you because 1. Why did you not honor the fact that we volunteered? 2. Our collegues did not volunteer and they were upgraded to Business Class? This caused us a huge disappointment as again we were prepared to arrive the next day in Toronto, made arrangements and were excited about the opportunity to return to Dubai. Why were non volunteers upgraded especially when traveling together.
I have been in the hospitality business for 30 years and a former flight attendant in the middle east. I do undertand how this works but also understand this from a customer point of view. I am writing this in the hopes that you will honor the fact that we did volunteer and were not given the seats that were assigned. I am happy to discuss this further and kindly request a written response.
Sincerely,

Subject: COMPLAINT: Emirates Airline - Failure to Transfer Baggage, Arrived 5 Days Late
Dear Emirates Airlines Customer Service,
Ref. flight details below and attached ( can be provided)
During a recent Family trip to LA with a stop over in Manila our bags did not arrive at LAX. With the assistance of Philippine Airlines we were informed the Emirates Airlines FAILED to transfer our bags in Manila. To ensure our bags would be transferred, we even inquired during Dubai checkin and the Emirates agent confirmed our bags would be transferred to the LAX (Philippines Airline) flight in Manila. The agent informed us not to worry our bags would be handled. To our surprise when arriving at LAX our bags did not arrive. The next day the Philippine Airline baggage agent informed us Emirates Airlines stated we failed to pickup our bags in Manila and would not release our bags. Knowing we had already arrived in LA the Emirates agent refused to transfer our baggage and was requesting our passports to release the bags.
After constant fellow-up by the Philippine Airlines our bags were finally released 4 days later. The PI agents informed us our bags were released only after he stated,"the passengers are very upset and are asking for your name to report the incident."
I am writing to you to:
1) Ask why the Dubai Emirates Airlines agent informed us our bags would be transferred only have them off-load in Manila for us to pick-up. Prior to boarding the LAX flight the ticket agent confirmed our bags were (should have been) transferred to the LAX flight.
2) Ask why our bags were not released to Philippines Airlines even after the agent explained the bags were to be transferred in Manila.
3) Ask why it took so long to resolve this issue. Bags were received 5 days late.
4) Request compensation for ruining our LA vacation. We had to change out of town travel plans, extend our hotel stay, buy cloths and toiletries, I had to try to find a Dr. to get prescription meds (in my bag).
To say the least were VERY UNSATISFIED with our experience flying with Emirates Airlines, we expected much more...
Lucky for us the WELL Trained and helpfull employees at Philippine Airlines were able to assist us and convince Emirates employees to release our bags.
Looking forward to your response
Respectfully,
Alan Javier

Greetings Mr. Javier,
Left a message with the front desk at the hotel saying that I found your
bags. They're still with Emirates in Manila, but I requested them to
forward all four pieces as soon as possible to LAX. Hopefully we'll
receive them either tomorrow or Sunday, depending on how swiftly the
folks at Emirates are in Manila. I'm going to call them as well, and
also get my counterparts at Philippine Airlines to keep at them so we
can reunite you with all your bags as swiftly as possible. Contact you
soon.

Greetings Mr. Javier,
This is in regards to your missing baggage that was held in Emirates
Manila Station.
As discussed, Emirates held your baggage due to multiple documents that
was demanded by Emirates Manila. We tried to contact and asked for the
said baggage to be forwarded as soon as possible due to passenger urgent
need for the baggage but to no avail. As per Emirates Manila agent
Myrtel, they cannot forward the baggage until proper documents were
submitted even though a definite match was already established in our
system.
Attached in this email is a PDF file that shows your original report and
the telex messages that incurred.
And the next day i called Emirates Manila Station to ask why they hold
your Baggage.I spoke ti Ms. Lovely Dacayo one of the Emirates Baggage
Representative,she told me that they can't release the Baggage,i said
Why?they are asking for the ff requirements.i told them we don't have
the copy
of the passport of the said passenger.Mr.Javier here are the names of
the Emirates Representative's and the Supervisor.

We were travelling part of our holiday with emirates and this was our first experience of using their flights. I must say we had high expectations and were looking forward to it. The opposite occurred. The service we received on the first flight on the 20th march flight no. Fz8k42 was really bad. The staff looked so miserable and unfriendly. Not a smile between them. There was a blonde slim girl in particular ( not the Australian) who was particularly rude and abrupt with passengers. Twice she dropped a stack of cups on my husband but just huffed and puffed as if it was the other girls fault. I asked for a cup of coffee after seeing another customer getting one and I was told we weren't doing coffees yet we would have to wait for abit. After having superb services from British airways on the first part of our holiday this was a huge let down. British airways were always walking up and down offering drinks and services On this flight customers had to call the staff each time for service. There was numerous assistance lights on at one point as I went to the toilet and I saw the staff sat down chatting and eating instead of serving customers . It was a disgrace. Our next flight with emirates on the 21st march 2013 (fz8k42) wasn't that much better the only difference is the staff looked alittle happier. Hugely dissappointed and has strongly put us off flying again with emirates. We did mention this to our rep at our holiday destination meeting and we soon realised the other guests in our meeting were hugely dissappointed with emirates as well and they weren't all on our flight so seriously urge you to look into future service procedures or you will lose a lot of custom. Very unhappy customer.
My father recently passed away in Spain and I got the first flight out available which happen to be with Emirates....BKK to DXB to MAD on the 24rth of January 2013.....frequent flyer EK-296537695 departure time from BKK 02.25 FLIGHT NUMBER EK 419 ETA 0600......The flight was an hour delayed taking off, I spoke with the stewardess on the flight and they re-assured me that there would be no problem what so ever getting to my next flight on time......we arrived in Dubai at 0720 and still i was asuured that the flight was not going to leave without me,in fact i was promised as i had already in formed the staff that i was attending my fathers funeral!!! i ran to my gate at Dubai airport only to be greeted by two very un-accommodating ground staff who refused point blank to allow me and about another 7 passengers that under no circumstance where we getting on that flight!! as you may gather by now i am very very upset....my father has just passed away and i am travelling for his funeral and have been granted only 24 extra hours to bury him....and only to be told by two horrible ground staff that i wasnt going to make it!!!! and told to go to transfer H...And you can imagime my horror when i arrived there was about 1,000 other passengers that had also been turned down from various Emirates flight...due to Fog warning apparently!!! I eventually after waitng 4 hours i got a glimmer of hope to chat to a guy called Joseph Mutino who was no help at all and was not capable of handling 3 people let alone 1,000 unhappy passengers....i was told that i would not be flying anywhere until the following day....as i said before i was attending my fathers funeral and i was not in a good state of mind as you can appreciate!!!! anyway the long tall and short of it all is that i missed my fathers funeral because of you and when i did eventually arrive i had no suitcase for 2 days....I cannot express to you how upset i am and i have no idea how your going to make it better but i am willing to listen before i take further action.....please contact me as soon as possible and if you need to ask me any questions you have my contact details above.
On 9-03-2013 I Came off a EK flight from Dubai to find my personal belongings were drenched in aviation fuel fom the flight, I have already sent a letter to customer services to be absolutely told flat out its not there fault, so on that note I have been in touch with the watchdog regs and ombudsmen citizenship advice bureau and told me that I am we'll within my rights for a reimbursement or even a replacement for my personal belongings, can you please write back and let me know what you are planning to do with this.
Thank you Ashley Neale.
On March 18, 2013 we checked in flight Ek 241 from Dubai to Toronto. Flight took off late by an hour from Dubai for some unexplained reason. FIVE hours into the flight towards Toronto, the entertainment units and half of the lavatories stopped working due to electrical failure in A380. The decision was made to return to Dubai. We were tired and depressed because I had to go to work and my wife was supposed to write an exam on March 19, 2013.
We reached Dubai around 6 pm and then long line ups were waiting for us. After a struggle of two hours we reached to our hotel around 8 pm. The hotel was substandard with single beds.
Next day on March 19, 2013 there were again long line ups to get on the bus to go to airport. We stood in line at 7:30 am and it was 8:15 and we were still waiting to get on to the bus. I lost my patience and hired a private taxi to reach airport.
After that, another 14 hours flight was waiting for me. Me and my wife after this long struggle fell sick in flight and could not reach to work on time and brought my reputation to question. It was a worst experience of my life.
I think Emirates need to be more prudent towards the maintenance of their fleet of aircraft. Their negligence to do their duty properly, can damage people life or loss of jobs and wages.
I think Emirates must apologies from all passengers of Ek241 and there should be some compensation in order.
It has come to a shock to me after reading the refund email and speaking to one of your executives as well right after this email and being felt misguided by an airline company who i have been faithfully travelling with for all my travels to and fro dubai since the past 5 years.
To give you the entire story i had originally booked my ticket for a BOM - DXB - BOM flight for 2nd Feb 2013 return 8th March 2013 for a price of Rs.19585/- . On the 1st of February at about i had called the local Emirates office in Mumbai to reschedule the ticket to the 9th of February 2013 return 15th February 2013 and also readily paid the fare difference of Rs9472/- .
However later on the 8th of February i made a call again to the local Emirates office in Mumbai and ask the lady on the phone to cancel the ticket as i could not travel anymore. I clearly remembering having a great confident conversation with her regarding the cancellation of my ticket where in she mentioned to me that cancellation charges of Rs3500/- plus a service fee of Rs 433/- making a total of Rs3933/- would be charged and the rest of the monies would be refunded to me.
It was no where mentioned to me or even hinted for that matter that my ticket is a non refundable ticket and i would only be getting a refund of the government taxes. I should have been clearly told about the exact refund amount for me to take a decision accordingly. If you hear my recorded conversation from your database you will clearly hear me asking that " will i be getting a refund of 25000 something odd" and i was given the impression that that would be the amount somewhat refunded to me.
If i was going to be refunded only the government taxes i should have been told clearly like how i was told last night when i called the office at 12:20am. Had i known i would be loosing Rs 16600 in the bargain ( 29057 - [8452+3933]) i would have definitely paid the rescheduling charges and postponed my ticket even further.
I would like to know why was i not given the complete information and refund amount details. Are not the offices equipped with such functionalities to immediately calculate refund amounts and convey them to your frequent flier. It is very sad to see this how I have been treated and lost such great amount of money and more than that lost my faith in the airlines as trust is something which once lost makes it very difficult to regain again.
Please let me know what can be done in this matter. The time of my call on the 8th of February was 4:449PM. I would like to request you to kindly re analyse the recorded conversation from your database and see for yourself and come up with a solution for my problem.
Looking forward for a favourable reply so i can proudly travel on my airline as i did in the past.
I have been looking for weeks to book an Emirates flight from Sydney to Amsterdam.for myself and my 2 kids. Finally knew the exact dates to fly so went online to book. Filled out the forms with names and credit card details. As soon as I agreed on everything and thought the booking was complete it came up with an email that the booking was incomplete due to changed seat availability!! Went strait back online and the same tickets are 300 dollars more expensive. I want to call the number that is given and when I call it it says the number is not connected!! This is ridiculous Emirates!! Please send me an email to arrange the booking for me. It should be easier to book online, not more complicated!!
I left perth on the 03 june on flight ek421 heading for dubai int airport then onto glasgow, to visit my sick mother, and hoping do some buisness while there. As we where getting close to landing, i decided to go to the bathroom and freshen up. i started to brush my teeth, and have a wash, and as i have a bottom plate with dentures i, decided to clean them so i took them out and left them on the top of the sink .just. as i was finishing there was a message on the airlines radio systems to go back to your seats as we where about to decend.
So i hurried out of the toilet and back to my seat, leaving my bottom plate in the bathroom. I discoverd my plate was missing after i had gone through the security scanners, as i tried to get back to them, but could not get any one willing to help me, they the emirates staff I found did not understand ,or where just not interested they probably thought a plate with dentures on it was not that important, but they were very important to me as i had meetings scheduled and i had to be there with gaps in my mouth.
I feel that if i had been allowed to go back as soon as i realized they were missing this would have been averted. iphoned straight away and went to lost and found at terminal 3 but it was to late the staff thinking they were not important when cleaning the plane probably binned them.But as it was a metal plate it was expensive about 1000 dollars australian i believe staff should hand everything in when found, no matter how trivial they think it may be.As iam a emirates frequent fligher i look forward to hearing from you soon.
I wish to make a change and dispute to a flight booking made on 15 November 2012. The booking was in reference to my son, Caleb Noel Macaraeg, during the online booking, an automation to his name was made without any intension of of this mistake to Calendar Noel Macaraeg. At the time, this error was generated by the automated correction in the iPad (I used while online booking it) and was unknown this had occurred at the time.
I wish that you please consider this error as a system error at the time and I would greatly appreciate the change in name fee be waived.
Can you please correct my son's booking to Caleb Noel Macaraeg and please forward amended booking confirmation to myself. Your anticipation to this request is greatly appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Rowena Macaraeg
Dear sir/Madam,
My name is Mr. Mohamad Riyaad Moosuddee and my Skywards reference number is 130218583.
I am writing to you today to relate several incidents which occurred to me whilst travelling through your reputed airline, namely Emirates Airline. On 1st March 2013 I booked for a multiple destination ticket and ticket number is 176 3039863947-48
The incidents are as follows.
On the 4th March 2013 I called the ticketing office in Dubai from Bangkok at 5pm (Bangkok time) to make changes to my ticket for the trip Singapore to Dubai, as I was not fit for travel for medical reasons. The ticketing office told me to go to the Emirates office in Bangkok to pay for the penalty to issue the STPC in Bangkok itself. However the office in question was already closed and I went on the 5th March 2013 at 9 am (Bangkok time) to pay for the penalty fee (see attached Receipt). Whilst there, the lady at the counter in Bangkok Office told me that I can pick up the STPC at the Singapore airport to collect the STPC before check in. On 6th March 2013, at my bitter surprise, at check in at Singapore, the person at the check in counter told me that there is nothing on the system and that I shall contact Dubai directly.
From Singapore to Dubai (Flight number EK 433) at lunch time I was offered a fork which was not clean, and contained stains which resembled animal excrements. It was a horrible and disgusting experience which made me extremely uncomfortable throughout the flight. And I could not eat anything as I was nauseous (See attached Video to this email) I presume that Emirates Airline has a duty of care towards its passengerâs health and safety and also that Emirates airline has the responsibility to check and ensure that spoons and forks provided on board shall respect a minimum hygiene standard. I immediately called upon the hostess in charge on the flight (Ms. Nicole Clarneiro) telling that I wish to speak to the senior Flight purser to complain about this incident. She told me that there is no need to call the senior staff as she will take the responsibility to report the issue and that she will ensure that I am contacted at a later stage for a feedback on the matter. Unfortunately, till date, nothing has been done and I was never contacted, and that is why I am writing this email today.
Arriving in Dubai to enquire about my STPC, The lady on the counter told me very rudely that âwe cannot do anything for you Mr.â This happened on the 6th of March at around 1 PM on my arrival at the ticketing counter. Being in a very sick state due to the incident on the flight EK433 I was extremely disappointed and my health condition worsened due to lack of food. I needed rest, but due to the lack of professionalism and lack of care from your member of staff I had to endure hardship. I had no option than to stay at the airport for 14 hours.
I am seriously affected and concerned by the way I was treated by your members of staff. I am a frequent flyer, and I surely do not wish to repeat this kind of experience. I am completely unsatisfied by the way I was made to believe that my feedback would be taken up. I am disgusted by the dirty fork that I received on your flight, and I find it extremely unprofessional to be treated poorly by your staff at the ticketing counter in Dubai. As I did not receive any STPC when I paid for my penalty fee, I believe that I received only a partial service for a full payment that I have made. I expect a minimum level of customer care when choosing to travel through your airline.
May I humbly request your utmost consideration to this email.
I will be at your disposal should you require more information with respect to this email
Yours truly,
Moosuddee Mohamad Riyaad

Our plane was late leaving Heathrow London. So we missed our connection at Dubai, we managed to get to the check in gate but were not allowed through although we could see the passengers and airplane there. No, we had to re- book for the next day, At 11-30 am a taxi took us to a hotel for 10hrs Taken back to the airport for a 2-45 am flight. Then when we got to Singapore there was only one case on the conveyer belt.. The case was found and brought to us at the hotel at 8pm. That evening. We had only 3days in. Singapore this was now cut down to two ... We are now in Singapore airport waiting again for a flight, Qantas to Sydney ... They have just announced THIS FLIGHT WILL NOW BE TWO HOURS LATE ... This was supposed to be a special holiday for the two of us Which has been spoilt I do feel the airlines let us down,, It was doomed from the start, flying out on April 1st ... Even the hotel room was No 13 on the 13th floor. ......
I have lived in SA. for 33years because of family commitments I have had to travel to uk and return via emirates twice recently.During my stay in uk i lost my SA. identity book and my credit card.On 22February ref. BLE1YZA1 I was to depart Heathrow.On trying to check in I was told I would not be allowed to travel and must rebook in UK. with a return ticket the flight controller seemed indifferent to my pleading I had my SA driving licence proof of residence and proof of purchase of ticket in Durban.
Eventually the emirates stewardess suggested I be allowed on the plane to Dubai but would not be issued with a boarding pass Dubai Durban. By this time I was a nervous wreck imagining being stranded in Dubai penniless.On arrival in Dubai I was greeted by a lovely courtious stewardess who issued me with a boarding pass ,and said she could not understand the problem.My bag was offloaded in Dubai and the stewardess said there was a 50/50 chance of getting it on the plane to Durban.I arrived Durban went through immigration no problem.My bag also arrived damaged with a wheel broken off.I must add apart from these unfortunate incidents service was excellent.
on 15th feb 2013 itravelled to dubai via emirtes airline on ticket no1762629931894 from karachi on boarding no 33H on flight no ek601.ihad areturn ticket of ek 604 on18th feb 1:30 in the morning. after arriving at dubai i changed my flight to ek 608 on 17th feb at 1455 hourswith confirm ticket no1762629931951 .at atrport checkin counter they tell me that my ticket is shown as suspended then they send me way back to ticket sales,the lady over there checked my ticket on her system and ask me to go back at check in counter and tell them to contact her on a no. i have gone back and afterwards i was given my boarding pass 31B;this whole process cost me about 90 min.then the check in staff advise me to rush to the immigration and then to the departure lounge as only 45 min. were left before take off;but when i reached at gate 32,the lady over there tell me that our sensor didnot pickup your boarding pass ;mental torture starts againthen they also called someother farooq who was travelling on the same flight and after calling on so many numbers finally theyallow me to travel.this was the worst flying experience of my life i have travelled in a lot of airlines and alot of time in emirates too but now i feel that i have to think ten times before i fly to emirates...
The associate checking us in Miguel was very rude.He did not let us carry the one hand bag (for 4 passengers) with us. He publicly made us empty out our personal items into a tiny medicine bag and forced us to check our hand bag in. We are on a flight with a 3 hour layover and 2 kids one of who is sick. Obnoxious person with poor customer service skills. I have been very inconvenienced. This has never happened to me on another airline. I travel a lit and use the same bag as carry on and have never been put through this.
My friend and I travelled from Brisbane to Amsterdam via Dubai on 26th February 2013 on Flight EK 435. My seat was 43C. I must say that the leg to Dubai was totally unsatisfactory. I fly overseas once or twice a year, usually with Etihad or Virgin having found these two airlines the most consistent and friendly of all the airlines. During the full 14 hours we never received a smile from any of the attendants and they seemed to begrudge doing anything for anyone. We had no magazines at all in our seat pockets and 3 times rang over a period of an hour to ask for help re TV remote or for a copy of the Emirates magazine. Three times someone came, listened to us in an impatient manner, said they would be back and never returned. At no time were they busy with meals etc. So, for 10 hours we did without our TV and movies as the touch screen didn't work properly. In the last 2 hours we finally worked it out ourselves. Other passengers also commented to us on the 'don't care' attitude of all the staff. A friend of mine lives in Dubai for 3 months then comes back to the Gold Coast for a few weeks. When I told her about the treatment we received she said that she had always found on the Brisbane/Dubai route the same thing which was very interesting. She often flies Business Class and said the same thing happens there as well. She only flies Emirates because her husband's firm has an account with you. The toilets were filthy throughout the trip as well. As I was flying to Amsterdam and returning via Lisbon Etihad wasn't feasible so that is why I decided to try your airline. Obviously you have a serious problem with the Brisbane/Dubai route and maybe it has something to do with the older style aircraft. But whatever the reason I would suggest that the staff on board are re-educated as to what Customer Service means. We paid good money to have an enjoyable trip and that includes having staff who smile and at least act as if they enjoy their job. Rudeness is not an option. What is disturbing is that I am not the only passenger who has encountered the rudeness.
I have no complaints about the flight from Dubai to Amsterdam.
Thanks you

I have complaint about lost property, Iphone 6 ( Gold color, 16 GB, cover of the phone gold color with small white line front and back ) inside the flight Emirates Airlines EK 123 on 23 of January 2015 from Dubai to Istanbul. When we arrived i move from my seat out of the aircraft and i found that i forgot my mobile on the seat and i was back immediately in two minutes and i didnt found. I asked the cabin crew to check seats and even after cleaning the aircraft they said that nothing found so it is mean stolen. On my way back from Istanbul to Dubai on 3 of February I visit office Lost and Found in Dubai (and in Turkey as well ) but they just apologize. I sent a lot of emails there and here to Emirates Airlines Team just to double check inside and between the seats ( 35A and 35B Zone D) but again and again I face the same reply. Even inside the aircraft available cameras and it is easy to check how and who stole the phone but no one take any action. One week already I trying to contact the team but without result and everyone knows that Emirates Airlines the best, safety and strong airlines in the world and they care about their passengers and their valuable things. I hope that after this complaint you will find the right action to help me.

I traveled from Tanzania to china bejing with emirates on 3rd jan 2015. When i reached Beijing my luggage did not arrive and I was told to send my forwarding address as i was to travel a lot within china. I gave them the number of my friend who was with me till 7th. There was no tracing of bag as i am a heart patient and all my medicine were in the bag i cut short my trip and returned to dare slam as my all medicine were inside the bag when i reached bejing. I asked at the airport about my luggage they said not yet traced and when my friend returned he again checked. They said one luggage arrived one still missing he took that one bag.
When i inquired in tanzania they said that my bag was traced and forwarded to my friend address i asked them why when I and my friend both are back they refused to assist till today. I have not got the bag they are also not giving any claim they need receipt for clothes I brought and they say change of ticket. They will not pay i had a big loss because I could not do anything in china and I had to come back. They refused my claim and they are not answering my e-mails also what can I do?
When i boarded the flight & arrived at my seat,i found a woman with a young baby in her arms in my window seat.Ok i can deal with this as she may need a bit more cover if breast feeding but when a babys cot was attached to the wall in front of me & could not use the inflight tv screen as the cot was so close to me & the babys father was in business class too which the mother kept getting up i was always being disturbed during my flight from Dubai to Perth.I spent a lot of money on the whole trip & did not enjoy any of my last leg as it was my first time travelling with Emirates & thought how good they were until this uncomfortable event.I would like a reply from Emirates or i will have to think twice about flying with you again.
Dear sir, I was very upset the way self was treated on emirates airline on my flight from MAD to DXB on 11th jan.EK142 I was seated at seat 46D and have requested for a glass of water when in flight attendent Mr.Ahmed was next to me with his cart. To my surprise he refused to give me a glass of water and was requested to wait. Self waited for 45 minutes and raised a second request and finally he agreed to give the glass of water. Self requested Mr.Ahmed for the reason for refusing s glass of water, his only explanation was "I am sorry " in a rude manner. Self wanted to raise a complaint in the flight itself. But his senior Mr.Nenad offered no assistance in doing so. In fact he acted like a tug requesting me to come to a corner to talk and he refused to give any more further details of his junior staff. Basically it was clear from his act that passengers were given no respect. They were just treated like asylum seekers. Self Emirates is following air india the way they treat their eco class passengers.
I here by bring to your knowledge how my complaint has been neglected by one of your customer care staff in Emirate office in Lagos Nigeria. His name is Ikusan Victor Olusegun. I have one unused excess baggage I bought during my trip to Uk with flight Ek 030. Date: 08/04/12. I couldn’t use my excess for that trip and I decided to use it for my next trip in July same year, unfortunately I was told that I cannot use it. That I should apply for a reform. I inquire why.i was informed that thatit is your new policy.
So I was made to pay for another excess baggage for that trip. In Feb 2013 when I was booking for my trip to US I decided to call customer care office in Lagos to lay my complain., and one Mr Ikunsan Victor Olusangun attended to me. He gave me hope that he will handle my complaint.
And he forwarded Emirate Refund form to my email. He instructed me to fill it out scan and send back to him for processing which I did on the 12th of February 2013. He acknowledged my mail. since the 12/02/13. I had kept in touch with him via email and telephone conversations incurring more cost, only for him to give me a negative feedback in the month of April that Dubai office refuse.
That he cannot help me. That I should direct my complain to Dubai office. Am a Silver member of Skywards. That shows that am one of your loyal customer. It’s very discouraging to treat me in this like. Please, I will appreciate if this issue is proper address and my Refund given back to me or allow me to use it during my next trip.

Dear Madam / Sir,
My family and I have recently flown to Bangalore, India on Emirates, departing and two separate days but returning together. I would like to share three points with you that made this journey extremely upsetting!!
* uncomfortable seats
* no choice of food
* rude cabin staff
On the outward journey to Bangalore – my girls flew on March 28th, EK 566 seated on 28D & 28E, I later flew on April 12th, EK 0564 seated 31H on our return on April 16th, EK 567 we sat at row 29 -D,E,F. These trips were so uncomfortable,painful and awful, we all had excruciating lower back pain, as there was a protrusion at the lower end of the seats that hit just at the lower back area!! To make it worse all of us being tall we had to sit at an angle the whole time ….there is absolutely no leg space and when the person in front pushes his seat back – the TV screen and food tray are in your face literally!!!!
When I was travelling on the 12th of April the 3am flight – during the breakfast service I asked for a Western meal and I was told there was none left and there was nothing she could do!So I asked for another roll and was promptly told that there was no more…this was all said to me by the stewardness without even checking!! On our return again during the dinner service only one of my girls got the western meal, so when I explain to the steward that the same thing had happened just a few days ago he said he would check and get back so he did and returned with one western meal!! So when I asked him about mine he said there was no more and he could not help it!!!
Honestly, are we not all paying for this flight….why should we have to put up with uncomfortable seats, no choice and meals – then why have the printed menu with choices when you cannot even avail of it and lastly to have to speak and put up with rude and unfriendly staff.
I flown so many different airlines in my many years of travel but have in the recent past flown Emirates because of the service and comfort. However, this has been an extremely dreadful and unpleasant experince.
I do expect reply to this mail and hope the staff that were on board during those flights are spoken to!!!!
Whilst recently flying from heathrow to dubai with my family on flight ekoo4 on the 7th of April 2013, passenger name hill seat 18e my seat would not operate and had to be reset at least 3 times. This was a night flight and because of this fault I was unable to sleep. I hope you appreciate that this is unacceptable and would like to know what your policy is for refunds etc.
Thanks

I am very upset with my experience of travelling with Emirates on April 5th. I had booked an economy ticket on 5th April by EK 542. I had done online check in and was travelling on emergency as my 85 year old father had developed severe breathing problem and was admitted in CCU in a hospital in Chennai. Unfortunately my passport had been sent for VISA renewal and was in the head office of Al Futtaim plc. So I was running from pole to pillar to get the passport out of the office as it was a Friday. With great difficulty and with high emotions I reached the check in Emirates counter by 8:05pm. The person at the counter conveniently said that the counter closed at 7:55pm and was asked to re-book in the next flight EK544. I was charged AED 420 as penality. I can produce all evidences if required.
I am living in Dubai for the last 20 years and a frequent emirates airlines flyer. I have checked in many times an hour before the flight departed though the ticket mentions that check in should be done 90 min. before flight departure.
I look forward to a reply from your department.
Regards,
Raman Kumar

Dear Customer Relations Department,
I am a loyal patron to Emirates Airlines, my name is JOAQUÍN URÍBARRI ZARANZ and my Emirates card number is: EK 277 695 432.
On 11th of March, my flight from Dubai to Sydney Kingsford Smith (EMIRATES EK412 ) had a 4 hours delay. As I was going to Gold Coast (Australia) I had to pick another flight from Sydney, so when I realized is going to take a while untill we will take off, I went to talk with the Customer Service and let them know that I have to pick up another flight from Sydney to go to Gold Coast and that I am going to lose my flight JETSTAR AIRWAYS JQ404 due to the delay. They ensure that are going to take care of it and I will have a sear in the next plane, but it wasn’t like that, so when we landed in Sydney, I had to pay a new ticket to pick up the next flight. I am very dissapointed as I thought there is an airline I can trust, but unfortunately I found out is not like this. Please let me know if you need me to send you the ticket I paid in the Aiport of Sydney, if you need to check the information is correct. Please contact me at: daniela.rof@ie.edu
I look forward to your rectifying this situation asap.
Respectfully
J. Uríbarri
I met a lady called Yoliswa Qauka in a nightclub toilet advertising herself as an agent for cheap airline tickets. It sounded to good to be true, as she said she can get tickets on any airline but claimed to work for UAE airlines. I was suspicious so I did a little investigating. I got her cell number 0843086959 and befriended her on Facebook. In early November she travels regularly, but traveled to cape town on one of her “special tickets” on Kulula airline. My guess is since she works at an airline company, she knows the ins and outs of not getting caught.
I’m sure she obtains credit cards from her emirates clients and uses them to buy tickets on other airlines (this is sickening). I don’t know where to report such so the right people can look into it, so I’m using this space and hope someone will forward this to the right people. See her on Facebook, innocent looking face. I have been a victim of credit card fraud and I am sickened at what length some people will go to make extra cash.
dear emirates my brother missed his connecting flight from London to Tobago because your flight out of either Cape Town to Dubai or from Dubai to London was delayed. now my borther is stranded in London what are u doing to help him. he left cape town Tuesday 17th of April 2012 to arrive in Tobago 18th April 2012.
He said he came to you and told you what ahd happen and you told him it’s not your fault, i dont understand it is clearly your fault why he missed his connecting flight. i jsut returned from south Africa and i travelled with your airline and i was really impressed with the service we got, so what is it now? my Brother’s name is Alix Smart. in order for him to get home he has to purchase another ticket whisch is costing him 1700 US dollars which is not fair.
where to expect him to go he is not from London and has no family there. come on man for such wonderful service my family recieved when we travelled with your airline for you all to spoil that feeling now it not a nice thing. please i am asking you to check your information you have on him, contact him and assit him please. thank you

After spoken to Baggage claim dept , they gave me one slip as a complaint and told me we will try our best. after pushing and long conversation he agreed to track the person whose bag is left on the belt…. He said good news is we found person contact number, live in UAE. He was not able to call the property owner due to not his dept.
I am really disperate to get my bag, its full with gifts & expensive stuff! Couldnt sleep whole night! only thinking about my bag. really disappointed! Even i dont have anything to wear bought night dress from local shop here
Unsatisfactory Cabin Crew Recruitment Program. Recently I have participated for recruitment program in Perth. According to the paper advertisement, starting time was advertised as 9 am sharp. I was managed to reach there five minutes before with much of difficulties as during weekends bus service is not frequent. At that time there were many candidates waiting with much of hopes, eagerly waiting for the exciting moment. Finally after one hour of the scheduled time two ladies appeared saying they from Emirates recruiting team for cabin crew and their going around the world with Emirates money to select correct people for people.
Then the surprising moment began. They showed couple of DVD’s abut Emirates group, life of Dubai and etc, Both ladies keep talking about things with are not necessary for an initial stage of recruitment program but may useful after offering job. All this rubbish was ran about another three hours.
Finally they collected all our CV’s and given a number. After that we were given a brake for fifteen minutes and once we return, we were informed there is minimum height requirement and done the height test. Two of the girls who couldn’t reach the limit got upset about the time they spent unnecessary. Finally we were asked to talk about a situation about a past situation that the person who sits next to me regrets and if he/she get chance to correct it what he/she does. Then as a group we were asked to discuss about a current affair.
At last they given our results as three out of nearly group of thirty were selected and we were informed the most experience two HR ladies unable to give a feedback for the flier. Out of the unsuccessful candidates there were many from Travel Industry, who currently work as Cabin staff and customer care.
The process from the beginning was a passel to me and I express my dissatisfaction. I also open this for the candidates around the world who ever face a similar situation to express their experience.
Emirates is my number one Airline in the world and a person who stayed in Dubai I have a great respect and honor on H.E Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed family the way build UAE for one of the world’s best economies and a best tourist place. Unfortunately I couldn’t get that chance to serve for Emirates.
Im manoj shrestha flew from amsterdam to dubai from flight EK 148 on 14 june…and i supposed to fly 04:35 hrs from dubai to delhi in flight EK 510 butdue to the technical problem in flight , couldnt fly on time. So my flight was delay for almost 4 hrs. I arrived in delhi at 14:00 hrs on 15 june and i had book ticket for Jet airline to kathmandu for 12:50 hrs on 15 june . So i missed the flight due to the delay of emirates in dubai. I informed the imirates staff to help me to book for the next flight for kathmandu. But they said there was no flight till next day.
So i ask them to book flight for next day arrange for my food and accomodation but they didnt help me at all until the 11 pm …i tried to ask help for many times but either they booked ticket nor arrange food for me to eat something… i waited for 11 hrs in the counter for help. i couldlnt even go inside in transit hall because i didnt have yet the boarding pass. so at 11 pm i try to ask from everyone in the counter…even police there …so finally one emirates staff came and try to arrange the flight ticket…so after 2 hrs..she manage to get me boarding pass for flight Jet lite at 1200 hrs for 16 june…when i ask about the food she told me that there is nothing she can do…
Even before when i ask for food ..the emirates manager told me that they cant provide food for me. I was delay due to emirates flight in dubai….and they are not helping me at all. i waited in delhi airport 22 hrs for my next flight and still they dnt give me nothing refreshment. m really dissapointed with the Emirates Airlines…especially the staff in Delhi Airport. They are not professional….especially duty manager of emirates in delhi airport..he never show any kindness to give me sampathy…or make me feel good …or comfort me….because i have been flying on 14 june from Amsterdam…
It was already 24 hrs when i reach delhi…and i waited 24 hrs more to get my ticket to kathmandu….without any refreshment….i would like to ask the concern person to take some action regarding this problem…so that in future it wont happen again…
Have feedback for Emirates Airlines?
Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry. Please try again later!
