Hi, did anyone had recent experience with Emirates?
I am asking because of the mask requirement during the flight. We have soon 20 hour flight AKL-KUL-DXB and I can't imagine having standard mask for the whole time.
I am thinking about the mask with exhaust ventil which would help with the heat and moisture build up. Are those fine? I read some US airlines already banned them but heard nothing about Emirates.

Flying to Dubai from UK - UK PCR test by Halo
Does anyone know if the PCR test available at Sofitel, Heathrow Terminal 5, can be used for travel to Dubai? I have checked the Emirates website but I'm no clearer.

We arrived on Friday and were through in about 10 minutes. Our flight arrived early, and I think we were one of the first European arrivals.
Stranglely, I haven’t received any results on my phone. And one part of the App still says pending. However, the “Health Card” gives the correct date and “Not Detected”.
My wife received a text, but her app show nothing.

The Emirates website says that travellers from Germany do not require a covid test in advance of travel. However, if I am planning to travel MIA-FRA-DXB -- would that transit through Germany exempt me from the need for a Covid test 96 hours before? I suspect not but the way it's phrased on the Emirates site makes it sound like simply having flown in from Germany is enough to exempt you.
