This is as passengers whose travel plans were disrupted by COVID-19 related flight or travel restrictions have been informed that they can hold on to their ticket which will be valid for 24 months and rebook to fly at a later time. Passengers can also get to request travel vouchers to offset against future Emirates purchases, or request refunds via an online form on Emirates’ website or via their travel booking agent.
