Emirates holiday booking terms (Covid)
I was about to book a holiday for 8 people to Dubai in April but stopped when I realised that there is no consumer protection whatsoever in Emirates T&Cs. The booking process require you to tick a box confirming that travel is essential or within one of the UK governments permitted exemptions. I am astonished that Emirates is willing to loose out on prospective travel by being so restrictive In its terms, Leaves me with no option but to book with BA (rubbish plane, rubbish flight time) since their Book with Confidence policy provides reasonable protection. Is this really the case with Emirates or have missed something obvious?

We will all get infected at some point anyway, and besides it's no different from the flu if you stay in shape. Flying and travelling is great now - virtually no tourists anywhere!

Anyway, let’s stay on topic about EK booking conditions during this pandemic. There are other forums to discuss the intricacies of Coronavirus.
