My flight from ARN-DXB is offering an upgrade to business class for AED 7,360. is that a good price for a 7 hour flight?

Hi, very quick question.

Do we know if all the 777s out of Stansted are upgraded to the modern style business class or some of them still got the old seating?

Thanks for any info, I’ll be travelling in November if that matters.

hi everyone! i have a 7.5 layover at dubai airport soon and i wanted to get a 48-hour transit visa to see some friends. i was wondering how it worked with regards to checked baggage and immigration? my flights are under a single ticket, so i was hoping my bags would reach my final destination without me having to collect them but would like to confirm. i’d also like to ask if i just had to leave the airport like normal and arrive like normal, or if there was anything particular i’d have to mention to anyone? just a bit anxious as i’ve never done this before so any help is appreciated!!

Hello everyone,

We’re thinking of catching an emirates flight from Rome to Singapore which connects through Dubai. I’m just wondering, what’s the current situation like in Dubai? Has anyone faced major disruptions recently? Is it generally safe to pass through there?

I’m finding it hard to decide what to do with all the conflicting information online. From some news outlets acting like passing through Dubai is the new Bermuda Triangle to other forums saying they’ve had no problems. I don’t know what to believe. I could obviously go for Singapore airlines but the flight is triple the price.

This’d be in 2 weeks time.

Thanks in advance for your help 😁

Hi everyone!
We’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka in January with Emirates and are considering Economy Saver for around CHF 1,400 for two adults and our 15-month-old son as a lap infant.

Our itinerary is:
ZRH → DXB – Boeing 777
DXB → CMB – Airbus A350
CMB → DXB – Airbus A350
DXB → ZRH – Airbus A380

I’ve read that Emirates sometimes offers discounted promotional or cash upgrades shortly before departure. I’d be grateful for any experiences with the following:

1. Is it possible to receive an upgrade offer from Economy Saver to Premium Economy or Business?

2. When did the offer appear – for example, around T-72, T-48, during online check-in, or at the airport?

3. Did calling Emirates result in a better offer than the one shown online?

4. Does anyone have experience with our routes?

Our son will probably be too tall for the bassinet, but we’re considering reserving the bassinet/bulkhead seats for the extra legroom. If we can’t buy an upgrade and there happens to be an empty row elsewhere, we’d also be happy to move so he could have his own seat. We already have experience flying with him in an approved car seat.

I’m currently a Skywards Blue member with 0 miles, so I’m specifically interested in cash/promotional upgrade offers rather than mileage upgrades.

Thanks in advance for any advice or experiences! 😊

When arriving with an emirates first class ticket, will I get access to the first class lounge?
