Airline transfer policy

Why should I book my connecting flights with Emirates?

Booking your whole journey – including onward flights – with Emirates allows you to arrange your travel on a single ticket, and check your baggage through to your final destination.

Emirates has links with dozens of airlines around the world, allowing us to serve more than 500 onward destinations.

What happens if I miss my connection?

By booking your whole itinerary on one ticket you ensure that, in most cases, your onward travel will be guaranteed – meaning that if you miss your connection through no fault of your own, you will be rebooked on the next available flight.

Please check the specific terms and conditions of your ticket or contact your local Emirates office for more information.

One of the best airlines company I have ever flew. The flight was from Sofia to Delhi with two connections - one in Serbia and one more in Abu Dabi. The first flight was operated from Air Serbia -nice short flight, the airport in Belgrade was fine, but unfortunately a snow storm came, so the second flight was delayed. And because of that I missed the flight for Delhi. And here is what Emirate did for me! In the airport were very polite with me, and immediately booked a ticket for the next flight to Delhi. I was supposed to wait 14 hours, so they gave me a hotel room in Radisson and transfer to the hotel with nice taxi - all for free! So I spend nice one day vacation in Abu Dabi, got back to the airport and continuing my trip in even batter mood! Totally recommend Fly Emirates!
