I would say assume they are typically clearing VIP's first, then based on capacity to quaruntine and sectors. They don't want too many people back to no jobs but equally I would say expect it to ramp up in June as DXB wants to open in July I believe.

Oops - looks like I missed that, I hope others don't...

Weird... it makes it sound as if you can only book those 12 countries. Were they not available previously from 1st July?

And predictably I see high fares. Hopefully saver fares will appear soon, after EK grabs in some of the desperate and backlog who will pay for flexible fares.

You are right. The only country in the region missing and not listed for flights from 1 July is Iran (unless I overlooked something)

Well, looks like there is a travel bubble starting from 1 July.

This 1 July thing does not mean all that much. On the EK website I can book CPT/DXB/ LHR from 1 July. With the LHR leg operated by an A380. Ain’t gonna happen, as they say, however much I would like to take that flight (even at the exorbitant J Flex fare being quoted which is about 10% up from what I paid for my ‘now in limbo’ ticket a few months ago (also J Flex by the way).
Open for a good rumour though.....

??? All the fares have been bookable on the EK website from 1st July for a number of weeks.

Indeed. So what is the point of announcing some routes are now available?
