Emirates Airlines Cancellation Policy

Emirates Airlines' cancellation policy allows passengers to cancel their flight and receive a refund or credit, depending on the fare type and the time of cancellation.

For refundable fares, passengers can cancel their flight and receive a total ticket cost refund minus any applicable cancellation fees. Refundable fares are typically more expensive than non-refundable fares.

For non-refundable fares, passengers may receive a credit for the value of their ticket, which can be used towards a future Emirates Airlines booking. The value of the credit may be subject to a fee, which varies depending on the fare type and the time of cancellation.

It's important to note that cancellation policies and fees may vary depending on the fare type and ticket conditions. Therefore, before canceling a flight, passengers should carefully review the terms and conditions of their booking to understand the cancellation policy and any associated fees.

Passengers can cancel their Emirates Airlines flight online through the manage booking service or by calling Emirates Airlines customer service. However, it's recommended that passengers cancel their flight as soon as possible to avoid or minimize any cancellation fees.
