Rebooking Options
 
I'm trying to help a friend who has made two separate bookings.

EU - DXB r/t on Emirates
DXB - MLE r/t on Fly Dubai

As of today - booking it all on Emirates as a multicity is €500 cheaper.

There is a €100 change fee for the Emirates flights - does Emirates allow full changes for this change fee (e.g. to add the DXB-MLE flights to this booking) or only change of date / destination?

FlyDubai charges a €75 cancellation fee.

Even with the fees we'll get a couple hundred back. Unless anyone has any other suggestions of what we can do?

whats the cancellation policy? I recently did something a little bit similar. Booked full flex F, ended up cancelling the ticket and rebooking the new itin at the same time.

Emirates have refused to change the flight. They keep saying it's a round trip ticket and cannot be changed to a multi city ticket.

However, I have gone through the fare rules and cannot see this specified anywhere. Am I missing anything?



... A CHANGE IS A DATE/FLIGHT/ROUTING/BOOKING

CODE CHANGE.

Are both the FZ and EK tickets 176 tickets issued by EK but on separate metal? If not, then EK would view them as two separate itineraries on two separate airlines, and they wouldn’t allow it. They’d want you to cancel both and rebook.

If they are issued on 176, effectively you’d be asking for a change with fare difference, but with EK refunding you the fare difference? Never seen EK agree to that. Commercially makes no sense for them. In this instance, your best bet would still be to cancel and rebook, if it still makes financial sense.

Perhaps there’s something I’m missing? Did you try HUACA?

I am looking to refund the FlyDubai ticket. This is no issue. They have agreed to do it.

I am looking to make a change to the Emirates ticket from DUB-DXB-DUB to DUB-DXB-MLE-DXB-DUB. I cannot see anything in the fare conditions to say this isn't possible. I am happy to pay the €100 per person change fee and fare difference.

Why not just cancel both and rebook?

Because the change fee is half the cancellation fee..
