Cancelling Emirates flight??
Hi
We are returning to the UK in July for a wedding, we have already booked with Emirates but due to a change in where we are going to stay, I could do with re shuffling the dates a bit. When we booked back in March, there were no great bargains to be had but I can now get similar flights with Malaysia for $3k less
So, I'm quite keen to get more suitable dates and a bargain as well but I can't make head or tail of Emirates small print about cancelling a flights and refunds, charges etc. Has anyone cancelled with them? and how easy was it to do and how long before you got the refund?
Have already called Emirates but waited in a queue for ages so will try again tomorrow but if anyone has any experience of this, I'd be most grateful

You can try checking the "fare rules" by using entering the reference number on their website under "manage my booking".
We cancelled beofr with Emirates and paid a penalty (cant remember how much but it wasn't alot).

Thanks, I've checked it out and still can't make out the cancellation fees clearly but it looks like $300. I'll phone them tomorrow and check it out.

we cancelled flights with emirates a few months ago to book cheaper ones with singapore. we had booked online direct with emirates - rang them and our cancellation charge was $200 per ticket. we had the refund on our card within 3 working days. i think if you've booked via a travel agent it can take quite a bit longer

I know with our tickets there would normally have been a fee of $330 per adult ticket for cancelling but it does depend on the fare rules. A lot of the recent deals with Emirates have had no refunds as part of the fare rules. If you booked online you would have been sent an email with the fare rules.
