An OMAAT reader who asked to remain anonymous shared an interesting story with me, and I’m not sure what exactly the correct take is… I’m curious what others think.
As a result, he booked travel on another airline. He flew the outbound on mid-February and is still in Dubai, and as you’d expect, the situation has changed materially, with most European carriers canceling flights to Dubai. As a result, he desperately wants to get his family home, there’s only one issue… he’s still banned from Emirates.
He reached out to Emirates to ask if he could be accommodated in light of circumstances, and was told that the ban remains in place. In writing, the airline told him “we’re unable to accept your travel with Emirates at this time,” and the airline “apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.”
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on One Mile at a Time.
