Travel 2 be - EK page shows error, CMT does not show anything and OTA says it is confirmed.

Instructions given by Emirates : If booked on EK website, for refund, go to the refund form.

For comments : PENANG TO AVAIL A FULL REFUND

Refund within 5 business days, maybe more due to the enormous amount of coronavirus linked refunds.

Obviously, don't do anything if your booking is still confirmed and you have not been called/contacted by Emirates.

For those booking with Travel2be, I hope the refund process will go smoothly. In the past I had some issues with bookings from them, refund took ages and I had to dispute the transaction (chargeback) to get money in the end. Almost impossible to reach them via phone and e-mails were never answered.

No compensation offered whatsoever.

Reservation disappeared from the app.
You will be refunded for the fare you paid. Compensation? Not a chance.

Same here. Ticket cancelled. Emirates now asks me fill out forms to get my money back. Sorry, I will not jump to any hoops and loops.
Therefore I asked Emirates to refund the money to the credit card used for payment within 15 days. Otherwise I will just do a chargeback via my credit card.

I was told by Emirates now that the booking is canceled but was informed that I need to reach out to the OTA for the refund.

Cheapoair.com informed me that :

As per the airline changes or refund is not available.

Ask your credit card provider for charge back.

I guess my 2 bookings are in process for cancellation: "Sorry, we have a technical problem at the moment. Please get in touch with us (opens a new window) for help. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Was nice while it lasted. Awaiting the next "promotional fare."

WE need "deals" to go to EU or USA {DOT} so the airline has to honor the tickets.

There is no have to honor.... AZ cancelled hundreds maybe thousands a couple years ago. DOT has ruled airlines cancel as done by CX a couple years ago.
It is just up to the airline if they want to or not- permission/authority is there.

When they come up - you grab and hope they hold. Make plans around you can cancel without penalty.

These sort of shady staff lite OTAs tend not to contact customers lol. Up to the customer to discover if the ticket has been voided.

I would argue that the above cases the airline was able to prove that it is a system error. In this case, it is not. It's pure corporate negligence copy and pasting fare rules.
