Emirates: common questions
Does Emirates charge for checked bags?
Emirates includes at least one checked bag on all fares. Our results show the exact allowance for the fare you choose.
Can I bring a carry-on on Emirates's cheapest fare?
Yes. Emirates's Economy Special fare includes a personal item and a full-size carry-on bag, but seat selection costs extra and the fare cannot be changed.
Can I change or cancel a Emirates ticket?
Every booking on Air1 Tickets can be cancelled free within 24 hours (for flights 7+ days out). After that, Economy Special fares cannot be changed, while Economy Flex fares allow changes with no change fee (you pay any fare difference). Refundable fares return the full amount.
How do I check in for a Emirates flight?
Check in online or in the Emirates app from 24 hours before departure using the airline confirmation code on your Air1 Tickets e-ticket. Your Air1 reference is for managing the booking with us; the airline code (six characters) is what Emirates needs.
Fare rules and fees are set by Emirates and change; the details shown when you search are authoritative for your booking. Emirates is a trademark of its owner.
