Wondering how long to wait before attempting a credit card dispute with the evidence that they cancelled and haven't refunded.
Open one asap

We prepaid for a service that the service provider is unable to provide (flight was cancelled in our case). This in anyone 's language entitles customer to a full refund. We were offered a refund minus a hefty charge for "cancellation".
are you able to mention (even if its approx) the refund fee

If you've got something to say, just bloody say it.

This "I know more than you 'cos my girlfriend works for EK" is getting tedious.

No it's probably coming from her BFF.

Emirates have just announced a limited number of repatriation flights for people in UAE. More details from Emirates later.

From an internal document I was allowed to view but not take photos of, titled "Resumption of EK Passenger Services - DXB Outbound traffic only" for the period of "6 - 30 April 2020 Aircraft type 77WR"

"Note: Outbound flights from DXB will carry passengers & cargo. All inbound flights to DXB will carry cargo only." (colours and emphasis as per the sheet I viewed).

Destination | FLT OUT/IN | dep time local OUT/IN
LHR | EK 29/30 | 0940/1650
BOM | EK 506/507 | 0930/1535
DEL | EK 516/517 | 0950 / 1615
HYD | EK 528/529 | 1505/2105
BLR | EK 566/567 | 1345/2055
MAA | EK 546/547 | 1450/2145
TRV | EK 520/521 | 1715/0030
COK | EK 530/531 | 0320/1030
KHI | EK 624/625 | 0230/0700
LHE | EK 624/625 | 0315/0900
ISB | EK 612/613 | 0320/0920
DAC | EK 586/587 | 1030/1930
CMB | EK 654/655 | 1420/2205
CAI | EK 927/928 | 0815/1205

All 1 frequency per day except LHE which is 1/3/5/6, first departure looks to be Karachi at 02:30 on 6 April.

Operating from Terminal 1?
Just guessing and to complete IFMTY's "hints", that they may board and deplane (if arrivals become part of the program) these "temporary" flights through Terminal 1 as a means of keeping terminal 3 "clean and sterile" until the "actual" resumption of "normal" flights?

FZ has been operating some flights recently. Pax and cargo outbound and cargo only on return to DXB. Mainly seems to be deportees as UAE gets rid of the unwanted.

BA Humbug,

You must have a fantastic memory to recall all those flight details from just reading a document!
