About Booking Online

Ticketing Options

We offer four ticketing options, some of which may not be available in certain countries. To learn more about the ticketing options and rules in a particular country of departure, please use the country menu below.

Electronic ticket (eTicket)No physical ticket is issued. If booking online, you must pay with a credit card, and then print your eTicket receipt. If booking at an Emirates office, you will be issued a receipt. You must present your receipt and passport when checking in at the airport.
Ticket on departureYou may collect tickets from the Emirates ticket desk at the airport on departure. If you fail to collect your tickets on the date of departure, your booking will be cancelled.
Local office pickupYou may collect tickets from an Emirates office in your country of departure. Tickets must be collected within the time limit specified for your country of departure or else the booking will be cancelled. See local office locations and hours.
Address deliveryTickets are delivered to the provided delivery address using postal or courier services. Delivery arrangements are made immediately on completion of booking and cannot be deferred. Tickets may only be delivered in the country of departure, with the exception of reward tickets, which can be delivered within the 26 countries which support online booking. Tickets will be delivered within 2 days of booking.

Please note that Emirates is no longer able to accept online payment by credit card for itineraries that include flights to Lagos, Nigeria or Accra, Ghana. Payment for itineraries that include these destinations must be made in person by cash or credit card, at your local Emirates Office, or at an Emirates ticket desk on departure at the airport (where available).
