Passengers offloaded this AM at COK as one passenger who was supposed to isolate ( and tested positive)tried to travel
The news article does not give the flight number but from what I can see it must be EK531. https://m.timesofindia.com/india/uk-...w/74635163.cms |
Emirates hold times are 4-6 hours and the automated system says they'll call you back.
I've tried this a few times over the last few days, but never get a callback. Do I really need to stay on hold, is the callback system not working? |

India is not allowing anyone to travel to India from the EU from 18thMarch ..Even those who transit or visit the UAE will have to undergo compulsory quarantine.

Arrived in DXB last night after a full flight. Once we reached immigration, the smart gates were obviously closed.
Went over to Fast Track and it seemed like the man on the entry just allowed anyone to join the que. No boarding passes were checked, It was a bit of a mess and took about 30m to get through. Just some info for anyone arriving during the late night rush hour. |
If you are on EK380/13MAR please self-quarantine for 14 days as according to HK government, a Coronavirus patient is onboard.

KBP-DXB "sold out" on FZ but bookable on EK
Checking KBP-DXB for Mar 18 (today). Is this the case of EK selling already cancelled flight? Mar 17 flights were cancelled already, and KBP dashboard shows 14:25 flight delayed to 17:05. But I don't even expect it to fly, given FZ travel update:
Ukraine: Following a directive from the authorities in Ukraine, flydubai flights from and to Ukraine have been suspended from 17 March. |
Tunis now cancelled too.
