Long Stopovers

As a special courtesy to our passengers, in certain cases* where an itinerary calls for a long stopover in Dubai, Emirates will cover accommodation, meals and ground transportation costs.

This service is offered to:

  • Economy Class passengers
    • If the booking class for the entire outbound or inbound leg of their journey is N, M, E, W, or Y.
    • If the connection time until the first available flight is more than 8 hours and less than 24 hours.
  • Business and First Class passengers
    • If the booking class for the entire outbound or inbound leg of their journey is D, C, J, Z, A, or F.
    • If the connection time until the first available flight is more than 6 hours and less than 24 hours.

Long stopover expenses may also be covered in other cases, such as Skywards redemption bookings, and other rules may apply.

Please check with your local Emirates office at the time of booking or prior to commencement of travel. Long stopover expense cover must be pre-booked, and Emirates is only able to accept bookings made one day before the day of departure at the latest.

* Certain fares from Australia are not eligible for complimentary accommodation, meals and ground transportation for long stopovers in Dubai. Please check with your local Emirates office prior to booking.

This is only available for passengers 18 years or older.

The itinerary must be on a single booking (i.e. on one ticket). For itineraries comprising of more than one ticket, exceptions apply, so please check with your local Emirates office.
