It's one thing booking a flight, it's another having the flight materialise.

UAE airports and immigration are closed to everyone except UAE nationals and residents with permission to return.

For example, in South Africa, where I am at the moment, there is no chance that airports will open to international travellers before September and some people are talking end of the year or early 2021.

There are probably 30,000 residents stuck outside; many are white collar workers, others may be blue collar workers

There is an even larger number of people who may have lost their jobs and are inside the UAE now, both white and blue collar.

Cynically speaking, the ones without jobs and inside can fill in for those stuck outside so there is no pressing need to let them in...

One thing I don't understand; Dubai is implementing forced quarantine for people returning by keeping them in specific hotels (and is already being done by citizens returning and also the 5% of expats given approval to return)

Many white collar expats stuck abroad would be more than happy to pay themselves for such a quarantine as long as they are allowed back.

That would also have added some much needed revenue for the hotel sector

With this massive increase in operations, any news on when transit will be allowed?

Would also be nice to spend a few nights on a stopover in July/August, but reading this thread it seems like a pipe dream.

My understanding is that transit has been allowed since the 21st May on the routes being operated. If you're still seeing a "flights to Dubai only" message while booking, it's a bug leftover from when that was the rule. Go back to the homepage and try again, or try on the app.

DXB Airside hotel website suggests that it is open, in case the transit is very long. OT but hilarious to see a "Royal Suite at B-gates" for USD 2000.

I have a flight booked for July 1, ICN to LHR via DXB. Both flights state A380 (hah).

Transit passengers (non UAE residents) are being allowed, right?

Also, are upgrades closer to departure being offered at discount rates by any chance?

Yes, it's confirmed - but maybe only between UK and Australia at the moment??? This is part of an email Emirates sent out

Today in ATM webinar, Sir Tim disclosed that EK can mobilize its fleet within 48 hrs, also.. predictably monitoring global situation 24/7.

Coincided that Sheikh Al Maktoum hinted that opening of UAE coming nearer.
