Emirates Airlines ticket date change is not that complex. You can do it on its website and the mobile app also. However, if you booked your ticket through a travel agent, you must change flight date by the agent. The airline encourages travelers to change ticket dates 7 days prior to the departure if required. It does not allow changing long-haul tickets within less than 24 hours of flight departure. Therefore, the sooner the better, when it comes to changing flight dates.

Emirates Airlines Ticket Change Fee

The Emirates ticket change fee is $100 USD if your ticket is booked through a travel agent and $80 USD if you did it yourself online on the Emirates website or the mobile app. However, you have the flexibility of changing your ticket with no change fee within 24 hours of booking. Additionally, you have to pay the amount of the difference in fares as well as the no-show fee if applicable. However, a flight booked at the cheapest price includes the following charges by the airlines:

  • Date Change Fee: $100/80 USD.
  • Difference in Fare (if applicable): The amount that applies.
  • Agency Service Charge (if booked by an agent): 500 BDT.

Date Change Fee

The regular ticket reissue fee of Emirates Airlines is $80 USD if the ticket was booked by the airline itself (online, at the airline’s airport office, or any other booking office). And, $100 USD if booked by a travel agent. The amount may increase if your flight was booked at a cheap price. In that case, the very specific amount can be determined at the time of ticket re-issue.

Difference in Fare

The difference in fare is the difference in price value between the two tickets; booked and to be booked. If the new ticket price is more than that of the booked one, you have to pay the increased value. On the other hand, if it is less than that, you will get no refund, reward points, or any other facilities. So, make a firm decision before you reissue the flight ticket.

Agency Service Charge

You have to pay an agency service charge for your flight date change if you take the service from a travel agent. The travel agent may charge you 500 BDT at least for it. You must reissue the ticket from the agent you booked your ticket. Upon completion of the reissue, the agent will give you a ticket with a new ticket number.

Emirates Airlines Ticket Reissue Policy

The policy applies to the following conditions:

Before Flight Departure

Flight change before departure will cost you a Reissue charge and the difference in fare (if applicable). It will also cost a No-Show fee if the flight date change request is made within 48 hours before the departure. The No-Show charge is not applicable to reissue requests made prior to that period. If a No-Show applies, the airline does not charge both the Reissue and No-Show fees. It charges only the amount whichever is higher between the two.

After Flight Departure

The airline charges a Reissue fee and a No-Show fee to change flight date. The difference in fare may also apply to the ticket if applicable.

General Rules

  1. You can make changes to your ticket without any charges within 24 hours of booking.
  2. Contact Emirates Airlines as soon as possible whenever you need to make any changes to your flight if it was not booked through a travel agent.
  3. Emirates suggests you make any changes from the source of booking.
  4. If booked through an agent, you must contact them for your service. Emirates will not take responsibility for your changes.
  5. Emirates inspires you to make any changes to booked flights 7 days prior to the departure if required. However, you have the right to make the changes 24 hours ahead of the flight taking off.
  6. The difference in fare is applicable for the modification of tickets to an overpriced one.
  7. The amount remaining for a ticket priced lower than the booked one is not refunded. On the other hand, the increased amount must be paid (if there is any).
  8. The flight can be rescheduled only if it is a changeable one. So, know the fact before you book a ticket.
  9. A reissue fee is charged per transaction.
  10. The same charges apply to all adults, children, and infants occupying a seat. Children and infants not occupying seats will not be charged any.
  11. If a No-Show applies, the airline does not charge both the Reissue and No-Show fees. It charges only the amount whichever is higher between the two.

  13. The date change fees are charged per transaction. Each transaction can change the date of the outbound flight / inbound flight / both inbound and outbound flights.
