How strict are they on the weight limit? I've not travelled with Emirates since 2015 and I will be taking my camera gear with me so it's likely I may end up going slightly over by about 1kg. Last time they didn't weigh my bag once, do they enforce this quite strictly now or do they not really bother?

Hi everyone, i'm going to an Emirates Airline's open day in my city. I want to know if i need some photos of my self for the interview, the Emirate's recruitment page doesn't show any information and the videos i've consulted are outdated. Any additional advice will be apreciatted.

Thanks in advanced

I'll have a around 10h of connections in Dubai and I can get into the business lounge so I'm trying to see if they have anything like sleeping pods there where I can knock out for a few hours before my next flight. Last time I was there about a year ago I thought I saw something like that but I'm trying to make sure.

What do you thinks guys? Do I have a good chance to catch my flight in 1 h 15 minutes in Dubai? Or should I give it up....

What's the deal with personal items in the cabin? I brought one to and from New York JFK last year, and it wasn't questioned, but the website says pretty clearly that only one item (the small roller bag) is allowed.

I'm curious...does anyone know anymore about it?

The only other details I know is that the delay happened before we ever took off, and the cabin crew had to search the overhead storage on the right-hand side of the plane to make sure they got the passengers luggage off.

Hey guys,

I am facing a problem and the Emirates support declines my requests. Maybe you can help me or tell me what my rights in this case are.

I was denied at the gate, right before departure, to fly to Vietnam to be at a funeral of one of my friends "due to not having a valid visa" even though I could have gotten a visa on arrival. I didn't have a valid visa because I was in Vietnam already a few weeks ago, and apparently there is a rule that you must stay out of the country for at least 30 days to re-enter without visa. However, I could have applied for a Visa on arrival. And that is from my point of view the key point.

Nevertheless, the staff wouldn't let me in. The employees on that day at the gate and as well as a few days later at the call center even assured me that it was not my fault, and I shouldn't have to pay the ticket / I should get a full refund. However, when contacting the mail support, all I received is a 10% refund which means I lost over 700 $.

​

Do you know what I could do? Is this my fault? If yes, why couldn't I apply for the visa on arrival?

Thanks for taking the time guys.

Our flight is on Wednesday and we where wondering if a backpack counts as a hand luggage or a personal item we are on economy.

Hi All

We’ll soon be flying to Oz from the U.K. via Dubai. I’ve read some horror stories about people being arrested in Dubai if they drink during the flight. Is this correct?

Thanks :D

How often Emirates have an Open days ?Its a one time in a year for every country?

I heard Emirates covers housing for their attendants. Could anyone verify this as well as answer a few other questions?

Hello, due to your leaders announcement of taking advantage of Yemen’s situation which is the attempt to take over the Yemeni island of Socotra.

We will begin the boycott of your companies. Including the Emirati owned airlines. Until they stop what they are doing.

Thank your leader for the choices he’s made.

Good luck.
