I don't think it does; DOT has responsibilty for travel to/from/within the US, but I don't think it has any juridstiction over travel agents selling for travel outside its juridstiction

With Emirates , no chance

It seems that Emirates is set in its view that it is correct - what is the cancellation fee of the award?

It sounds like you have 3 choices

(1) travel on tickets as is
(2) refund the tickets
(3) go to court to try and claim the $320 back

What was the route ? be interesting to see what the site shows when doing such a booking
