I'm not sure this is the best place to ask, but here it goes:

I am flying on JetBlue to JFK then EK to MXP. Will I have to retrieve my bags at JFK, or should they be checked through? Should I also receive my EK BP at the first airport, or will I have to wait until JFK?

I tried calling and they said I would have to "check in twice" :confused: Does EK make connecting pax re-checkin at JFK?

Thanks!

B6 can theoretically interline the bags and you should get an online BP from EK so if you do need to re-check it's because of B6 Not EK

Thanks for the information!

Do you know if I can do online check in for EK 48 hours before departure even if my first flight is on B6?

Good question, no I'm not sure

Yes, it is. Same PNR and ticket.

Hi! Still learning the ropes here. Could one of you experts clarify if I am able to book an Emirates flight with AA miles? Is it possible to do that if the flight is a Qantas code share?
Thanks in advance.

Change or cancel return portion of journey
 

I am booking an upcoming trip and while my outbound date is certain, my return date is not. Since EK provides the option of booking different types of fares for each direction, is it correct that for the outbound I can book the most restrictive and for the return I can book the fully flexible fare? Then, if I want to make any changes to the return, that will not incur any fees? What if I want to cancel the return entirely? Would I run into issues since normally the one-way fare is more than the roundtrip? Thanks.

Flying FLL to CPT connecting in Dubai. Is there an Emirates lounge or partner lounge in FLL?

Also, for layover in DXB - when we deplane, do we just go to the business lounge and wait for next flight? No immigration or security recheck?

There is no lounge at FLL but from other feedback on other sites they say you get a voucher redeemable for food/drink at the airport restaurants.

At DXB, you go through transit security (sometimes) and then proceed to the gargantuan duty free shopping mall departures level, from which you can reach the lounges. No immigration checks as you are not technically entering the UAE.

hi I am flying emirates for the first time as most of my trans atlantic routes were with lufthansa. My flight is on the 15th this month and I can't find any bid system and I remember reading they were working on it last year. Anyone know how I could get a deal on an upgrade? I normally flew Lufthansa's premium economy so I was ok. But since I have issues with my knee I would find it difficult to be a tall guy on a tiny seat with little leg room. I tired searching the forum but couldn't find much.

There is no bid system in place yet. Upgrade are by cash, miles or OPUP. Sometimes you get an email prior to your flight offering a 'discounted' upgrade offer for a single sector e.g. USA-DXB is usually $1000 one way, which does not include chauffeur service or lounge access. If you're concerned about legroom then best bet is to try book extra legroom seats for a fee ahead of time. If you let us know which sectors, I'm sure we'd be happy to make recommendation based on a/c type.
