Poor Emirate services

Hi,

 

I had a horrible experience traveling through Emirates, my incidence is as below, hope to hear from you.

 

 

 I wish to draw your kind attention to the horrible experience I went through during my flight from Dubai to New Delhi. My flight details are as below-

 

 

Flight  - Emirates Airlines (EK) - 512  Monday 13 February 2012

 

Emirates Airlines Confirmation Number:  CEY5YB

 

Depart: 22:10 Monday 13 February 2012   Dubai Intl Arpt (DXB),Terminal  3

Arrive: 02:40 Tuesday 14 February 2012  Delhi Indira Gandhi Intl (DEL),

Terminal  3

 

Flight  512     Non-stop

 

Class of Service:       Economy (G)

 

My Copy of the ticket is attached for your reference.

 

To my horror, we were served food after one and half hour. After request for one beer 5 to 6 times I was served beer after 45 minutes, I was though the lucky one my fellow colleague got a glass and some ice and had to wait for 50 minutes for his drink.

 

The staff on duty was extremely rowdy and impolite. After I had pushed button for assistance no one appeared even till the time the flight was about land. No one came to clear my table so that I could close my food tray during landing. It was only during dying minutes one lady appeared and started shouting and spilt half of the food items on my cloths while clearing the tray.

 

I had heard of emirates for their good service, I was shocked for such a treatment. I am too small to take any step against the humiliating experience which I had, but surely my strict recommendation to my fellow colleagues would be to restrain from using Emirate services.

 

 

 

Warm Regards

Hi there,

 

It is indeed with great regret that I send this email regarding the poor service with Emirates. I have almost always booked Emirates airlines even though other airlines were cheaper. This was due to the good service; I have always received on Emirate airlines. But on the 9/12/2011, the service delivery was most definitely poor.

After having confirmed my flights month in advance travelling with my 12 year old daughter, this is what I had to endure.

Upon arrival at the Durban airport we were told the flights have been over booked and we will be offered 1 full ticket if we agree to change our

flight via JHB the next day. I have to say it took a look at my daughter face to refuse and realise that we would lose more by changing the

arrangements as all tours and accommodations have been paid for. Having refused this and after explaining to the staff member, we were put on our flight. Having thought this will be the only hiccup; I would not have even been emailing you but worse was still to come.

We arrived at the Dubai on the 10/12/2011 and had our stay of 4 nights in Dubai. We had a 10.10am flight for the 14/12/2011 and arrived at the airport at 7.15am. We were sent from one counter to another had our bags tagged but were told we need to get our boarding passes from a specific counter. When we arrived at this counter we were told our flight was full and we will need to get onto the 3.30PM flight. I explained to the lady about our trip further being confirmed and that we had onward transport awaiting us. Her words were if the flights are full what do we expect her to do. By now I had a 12year old who was in tears. I went up to one of the supervisors and was told to wait until 9am and he will see what can be done. I did not mind the wait for as long as we got on this flight. At 8.45am we noticed passengers who have come after us getting their boarding pass. When we queried this we were told they had a wedding to attend. But excuse me how does one decide which passenger should have preference and should it not be first come, first serve. After telling the lady this I do not think she was too pleased with me. At 9am I returned to the supervisor who by now had all sorts of problems and asked us to wait. He then contacted the lady 2 counters away from him, the same lady who had earlier refused to put us on the flight and had given boarding passed to the passengers with the explanation that they had a wedding to attend, and asked her if we can be added to the business class.

She refused to put us on the business class and said she will swop some seats and see what can be done. We waited some time more and were eventually given our boarding passes at 9.45 / 9.55 am, by the supervisor. We were sent with an attendant to go for passport control so that we do not miss our flight. We eventually go on the 10.10am flight that left a little later and upon take off that flight still had one economy seat available.

Upon arrival in Delhi, 2 of our bags were badly damaged but after going thru all the issues above I did not want to make my daughter go thru anymore and did not even take the time to complain and delay our onward journey.

 

I must say having had this terrible experience I would have to think twice before I travel or recommend Emirate airlines again. I am hopping you will be able to explain this issue and problem so that I may be able to better understand this.

 

Also, please note I have called and left a message with Nicole on the 4/01/2012 and she promised to send my email to your department.

 

Hopping you will not ignore this email and get back to me………….

Hi,
 
I have been bery interested in the amount of complaints that have been made against Emirates. I to have had a huge grivenss agains't Emirates, please find complaint attached and replies from Emirates and my answers inline.
 

Emirates Airlines Customer Affairs.

 

Re: Complaint Closed flight at DXB and Delay at DXB to LHR

 

Dear Customer Affairs,

 

I would like to complain about my deficient experience with my recent trip from Dubai to Delhi flight EK8512 which had been scheduled on the 09-01-12 at 6.30am arriving Delhi at 11am. I am attaching my original ticket also for your inspection.

 

Having reached Dubai airport at 4 am I first checked the flight status screens which showed that I could go to any check out to check in,  however  when I attempted to do so at a self check in all of the machines were currently being rebooted and I was told that I would have queue up. I first approached the counter for a Dublin flight but was told that I would need to move on to the next set of counters and so I did.

 

Upon standing in the queue I was amazed at the rush of people that were actually standing in the queue to check in. I estimated in the region of over 300 passengers all waiting patiently yet to my amazement only around 3 counters were open. I was so surprised at this I actually decided to take a picture heckling at myself at the lack of staff Emirates had on duty. Picture is attached for you to review also 

 

After around 20 – 25 minutes passing I actually realised that queue wasn't moving and spoke to one of the ground staff sighting that there were so many passengers and that why was there a lack of staff  explaining that my flight was at 6.30am to which the chap replied sir you have time and we are getting through the passengers. The chaos was so ridiculous that there was a man who I estimated spent around 45 minutes arguing about his baggage allowance claiming that the bag was 32kg despite it showing on the scales 40kg a picture is attached.

Quite obviously the Emirates check in staff was unable to calm the passenger down and was causing everyone else to be delayed.

 

Having waited for well over an hour I made myself available to one of the Emirates staff again raising my concern and frustration that the queue wasn't moving and that I had a flight at 6.30am. The staff still didn't acknowledge the fact about my flight time but merely asked for half the queue to move across to the other side of the airport where they had opened up a few more check outs. Finally once I had come to the front of the queue the time was around 5.25am and no one till now had called out the flight or asked for anyone on the Delhi flight to come forward despite my plea with staff about the chaos that was witnessed at the airport and shown in the photos.

 

Having placed my bags on the scales and presented my ticket the Emirates representative checked my visa asked me that I had already allocated a seat online etc and then after 5 minutes he had a very confused look on his face. He apologised and said that my flight had been closed. To my disbelief I asked him that if you are checking me in how my flight can just be closed. Oh sorry sir the computer isn't allowing me to check you in. To which I thought this must have just been a computer error or something. He said sir you will need to speak to the supervisor who will be able to assist and no further explanation was given as he felt embarrassed. I went across the counters to another Emirates representative whom just said the flight has been closed and can't do anything and you will need to walk over to customer services and see what they can do again no explanation was given as to why. I explained that I had been at the airport since 4am and that I had continually expressed my concern with not enough staff and no one had even called the flight or for anyone to come forward. He just uttered that he couldn't do anything and I had to walk over to customer services. Having queued in customer services I was met with another group of people of around 15 passengers who were going to Delhi also. Their experience was even more ludicrous that they were all checking in together however 4 of them got checked in and the other 11 were told that their flight had been closed and that they would have to speak to a supervisor. Due to their limitation of English I decided that I would assist them where I could as I was a frequent flyer with other airlines and normally there is a swift process in dealing with passengers when this occurrence happens.

 

Having gone to customer services I explained the situation I was alarmed to be told that I would have to pay to get on the next flight and that to wasn't guaranteed and that it would be standby. To my alarm I replied why would I need to pay when I was at the airport well over before hand, had made myself available to 2 ground staff but was shrugged off, finally told to go to the other end of the airport, my bags on the scales being checked in and then just told spontaneously that the flight had been closed. It just made me think from experience that Emirates had overbooked and this was a cheap ploy to just shrug their customers off which is truly unacceptable and have never experienced anything like this before .

 

My experience was further aggravated when I was then told that I would need to speak to an Airport Services Officer to where then I walked to and was met with probably the rudest arrogant man XXXXXXXXXX who's card I am attaching.

When I explained my situation to him he simply outright said that I was lying and that I had turned up to the airport late and attended to a message on his mobile phone! This had sent me into rage and was extremely upsetting and it had been confirmed that Emirates wasn't interested in their customers and that they merely wanted to shrug their customers off. When I asked for his card he was extremely reluctant and finally just threw it across the table and simply replied that he simply couldn't do anything and that I would need to buy a new fare and that I need to leave the office! Is this the level of respect your staff give its customers and their loyalty to fly with you?  I eventually went back again to customer services counter and then was told to walk over to counter A40. Arriving at counter A40 I was shocked at the carnage of customers whom had a similar heavy hand presented to them by Emirates. I attach a photo.

No level of control was visible, everyone concerned irate with Emirates process and everyone trying to have them-selves heard and get on to their onward flight. I witnessed a young girl in tears who had to get to Delhi for a funeral and was scheduled to be on the same flight and had the same treatment, arriving well over 3 hours making herself available, no one calling out the flight to have her come forward and was told that the flight was closed. I was truly in shock at the way Emirates was mishandling its passengers and in the 32 years that I have been flying never experienced something like this. Emirates were running their operation as a circus in my eyes with no process and no management expertise to handle such a cock up by supposedly an award winning airline. Please see picture attached of chaos and arguments occurring.

 The lady at counter A40 was probably the only helpful person that I had came across and I actually explained my situation to which she really had no words. Finally I was put on standby and was told that I would have to wait and come back around 9am to see if I could go on the 10.10am.  When I was told I could travel I then walked over to the payment counter where I was slapped with a 860 AED reschedule prices, yet the other people whom were flying to Delhi their charge was only 200AED which was utter discrimination. My point to the lady was why would I need to pay a fine despite being on time, making myself available, telling the ground staff that I was running late due to Emirates lack of staff  but yet nothing was done to which she said I don't know sir you will need to write a letter. It's a total disgrace in which the airline handled the whole situation. I'm attaching a receipt also for 860AED .

Please find ticket attached.

 

Furthermore due to the harassment I had to miss my train in Delhi that my cousin had booked and had to organise a flight instead for the next day to get to my onward destination putting me further out of pocket. Ticket is also attached of the booking that had to be made due to my delay which I expect Emirates to redeem me for.

 

My distasteful experience continued when I arrived at Delhi for my return flight DEL DXB EK 511 K 21Jan12 1050 21Jan12 1315 which was scheduled on time. I had bought 2 litres of duty free whisky arrived at the gate boarded and a call was finally made by the captain that the airport had been closed for an hour and that we were going to be grounded here at Delhi.

 

Finally once we had departed it was evident that 50% of the people on board would not be making their onwards journey which in all honesty due to my earlier experience I was extremely worried and concerned and explained to the stewards and said arrangement would be made on the ground.

 

Once I arrived at Dubai I was asked to go across to the counter, no explanation given what would happen, merely told that I would be put on the next day's flight and that I would need to stay at one of Emirates hotels to which I thought there was no point arguing and agreed. I explained that I had purchased expensive duty free to which I was told that I would be able to check this in tomorrow at no extra cost. I was told that my bags would be off loaded that contained my clothing, toiletries etc. Having reached the baggage collection area I waited for around 40 minutes and finally went to a representative whom I asked where my bags were. She explained they had been put on for tomorrow's flight but had promised me that she would get them to the hotel within 3 hours to which I agreed as I would finally take some rest and would wait for the bags.

 

After 4 hours I rang the Emirates desk again and explained my situation and that I had no change of clothes and that I was expecting my bag to arrive at the Copthorne hotel and not to my surprise I was told that the bag had already been checked in for tomorrows flight and that she couldn't do anything now and that I would need to complain once I arrived back to London.

 

I then asked the hotel if they could provide me with basics toiletries such as deodorant, tooth paste or shampoo etc to which I was told they would not supply this. Why in the hell of god wouldn't you supply this despite all airlines saying you can't take liquid on carryon luggage and my bags were in your procession!??

 

Finally I had to venture out purchase a change of clothes and deodorant from a local market occurring taxi cost which cost me in the region 200 AED for no fault of my own which I'm expecting to have refunded.

 

The next morning when I arrived at the airport on the 22-01-2011 for flight EK003 I already had my boarding pass however wanted to check in my carryon bag with my duty free I was told by check in I couldn't do so that I would have to pay excess baggage. I couldn't understand why there were mixed messages from the customer services agent when I landed however when I got to the airport a heavy hand was once against used which wasn't surprising.

 

How was I meant to avoid missing my flight if there was a delay which wasn't in my hands however my carryon bag was only 8kg however the alcohol that was bought on airside was probably 4Kg making me 4.0kg over weight which I thought was extremely petty especially taking into consideration the inconvenience that had been caused by Emirates.

 

Eventually I offered to give my presents that I had bought to some ground stuff who weren't part of Emirates however they kindly offered to pack the bottles in a card board box and have that checked in by speaking to someone from check in who was kind enough to let me do so.

 

Based on the above I hope Emirates considers my case as extremely serious and that the inconvenience and time wasted going from pillar to post and more so the financial damage that this trip has cost me I will be seeking compensation and if this is not considered then I will be pushing this complaint to higher authorise and consider airing this on various forums and social forums also. I feel as a 32 year old man I was very mature about the whole situation and didn't cause more of an uproar however had I been with my 2 years daughter and wife and this kind of behaviour was used my attitude would have been different and definitely not been tolerated. I have already spoken to my solicitor and will be seeking some kind of compensation if this isn't dealt with accordingly.

 

Furthermore I have attached pictures of the whole incident which I hope Emirates will take into consideration and further more will hopefully help Emirates better its service. I used to hear comparisons to Virgin and British Airways and can tell you first hand Virgin when my flight was delayed and missed gave my wife and I a round trip to anywhere in the world, but here in comparison Emirates subjected me to me being called a liar without any proof, being told it was tough and being slapped with a fine more so had to cancel my train tickets and had to get an alternative with having to fly to Chandigarh my final destination. I have never ever seen an airline handle a situation not once but twice through a trip. I'm very upset and distraught and will have to seriously consider my corporate network and business companions to fly with Emirates again unless some kind of compensation is granted and my money returned for me for the fines and onward journey.

 

I look forward to your reply settling this complaint.

 

Kind Regards

 

 

Mr C S Chind.

 
 

Dear Mr Chind

 Thank you for your e-mail regarding your experience with Emirates.

 I was sorry to learn of the difficulties you experienced when you tried to check-in at Dubai airport for flight EK8512 on 09 January 2012.

 The check-in area can become very busy during the morning peak hours, but there are always staffs that walk around the check-in queues and make final calls before the flight is closing, and Announcements are always made in the check-in area over the tannoy.  I'd like to add to this when I spoke to your ground staff supervisor he clearly mentioned that Emirates we're not obliged to make any announcements over the tannoy and that I should have made myself available which I had on many occasions.  When I mentioned this to the supervisor he had nothing to say so how can you be so certain that this was done on the day? Do you have a log? I can assure you this wans't! I'm a frequent travel and always listen out to notifications and more so on this occasion. And when I was standing the queue the Emirates staff said that I have plenty of time!

 The staff are in fact very conscious of doing the rounds since the new 60 minutes closing of check-in came into effect as there are passengers who are still unaware of this, and therefore they patrol the queues regularly to make sure there are no passengers stuck in a queue when their flight is closing. Again if you had called out why wouldn't have I made myself available? Again Emirates are playing it Coy here not wanting to admit that they made a huge blunder. Check this blog site out and see the amount of complaints against Emirates have been raised and the lack of understanding towards the customer http://emiratecomplaints.blogspot.com/ .

 

 I have been in contact with our office in Dubai, where the check-in queues are monitored for statistics to see how long people are waiting, and they have advised they have never known anyone to queue for 1 and a half hours.

Well when I said to them to take my details I left them my business card also, obviously which supervisor in his right mind would say that their queues were busy? Don't the pictures give you justification and the chap who was arguing about his bags that caused a huge delay? Did you ask them the question about that? What were the statistics when only one side of the counter is open and how many flights do you brag on about that you fly out from Dubai?

It just seems that Emirates are still calling me a liar! Despite me saying that I had my myself available arrived on time however you don't want to acknowledge this point! This is unacceptable.

 Mr Chind I am sorry you missed this flight but there were 257 other passengers who were able to travel on EK8512, and therefore there is no evidence to support you missed this flight through any fault of Emirates. You really do make a great excuse as an airline, I'm there on time, you don't have enough staff working, I make myself available, no tannoy announcement made I wasn't the only person who made the same complaint however still being called a liar? How can this be?  Your staff was inadequately staff to handle the situation and certain passengers who should have been ushered along weren't. Why when I asked on many occasions wasn't I put at the front of the queue, why did your staff say that they are not obliged make announcements on the Tannoy as none were made!?

 However, I am concerned to learn of your disappointment at the behaviour displayed by members of our ground staff towards you at Dubai airport. May I assure you that rudeness of staff members is not tolerated and that we take a serious view of such incidents? We expect our staff members to always deal with passengers in a friendly and professional manner, which you, as our customer, have every right to expect.

So doesn't this give enough reason to believe that if an incident had occurred have they admitted in the heavy handed tactic they had used? Yes I'm being told that I'm lying about all of the above?

 Nevertheless, with regard to the photographs you have taken inside the Terminal at Dubai airport, our office in Dubai have advised that you have breached security regulations, and if noted at the time, you could have experienced serious consequences . Please refrain from taking photographs inside the Terminal. Fair enough but it's a risk that I took due to my frustration. Do you think I normally take pictures of people in queues and peoples bags on the floor? I took this pics so that I had evidence of the lack of staff and the issues that I faced, yet I'm being told it wasn't Emirates fault in why I missed my flight?? How does that work?

 However, I was sorry to learn that your return flight from Delhi EK511 was delayed by 80 minutes on 21 January. Our records show this was due to Air Traffic Control and I am sure you can appreciate these are circumstances beyond our jurisdiction.

 Nevertheless, I am truly sorry this resulted in you missing your flight to London Heathrow.

 Whilst our staff re-booked you to travel on the same flight the following day and provided you with hotel accommodation, regrettably it is not always possible to retrieve luggage, as this is placed in Transfer containers, but I apologies if this was not explained to you more clearly. Regrettably we are not in a position to reimburse the costs you incurred in Dubai in this respect.

So did you ask your ground staff why I was told it would come to the hotel? You have statistics to queue monitoring but at the same time don't you monitor what your passenger's have requested and log it in some kind of system? Yet that must be the passengers fault also? So I'm put on another flight yet I'm not allowed to get my bags yet promised? What am I supposed to wear smelly clothes and leaves? I buy duty free told that I can have my bags definitely however you fail to deliver again what you promised, and when I reach the airport I'm expected to throw my duty free bottles away? Please I think Emirates don't have a leg to stand on here and 15k miles is supposed to justify the financial and personal problems that I faced due to Emirates yet I'm called a liar?

 Mr Chind in respect of this delay, it is never our intention to have dissatisfied passengers, and therefore as a gesture of our goodwill I have arranged for you to have 15,000 complimentary miles credited to your Skywards account. I do hope you will accept these miles in the spirit in which they are intended. I'm sorry that the 15k miles is of no use to me, I don't wish to fly with Emirates or any of the partners, this isn't even sufficient to even get me a one way upgrade, this is more so insult to injury of being called a liar, being told that it's not Emirates fault however as a goodwill you will give me 15k miles which are worthless to me! What am I really supposed to do with 15k miles? TO be honest I will be writing to your Emirates directors also in the UK and abroad and be taking this up with different media agencies corporate companies that I'm affiliated with. I will not let this just lie low the way Emirates has handled this. I suggest you review your gesture of goodwill as a customer I was no way to blame for Emirates blunder.

 Mr Chind I am sorry you have found cause for complaint, and I do hope this unfortunate experience will not deter you from travelling with Emirates again, when we will welcome the opportunity to demonstrate our service commitment.

Like mentioned I will take this further unless a sensible offer of settlement is made or I will not hesitate to cascade this issue on.

 Yours sincerely

   Mandy Cook (Mrs)

 

I was wondering with whom I can take my complaint procedure further?
 

Thanks,

Subject: safety issue of emirates flight
To: jawad@alumni.washington.edu


hello Jawad 
good day 
i have a complain about the safety matter of emirates flight which is very important and i hope you will upload the below matter and i will be grateful to you,

i recently traveled with emirates from sydney to dhaka via dubai. on  last year 13th december my flight was Ek 413 from sydney-dubai.the first time traveling with emirates air bus so it was very exciting to me and i traveled with my family. my daughter is 1year old so i took seat last cabin of the flight as the other passenger will not get disturb if my infant kid will cry.any way, the meal time- we are waiting and waiting but no meal is coming. we were very hungry as the flight has been depart at 10pm and we left home in evening. they has been served to all cabin except the last one. i could not wait so long and ask a cabin crew where is our food? she told me she forgotten and told sorry!!!!  we found very strange when she did the same thing in breakfast time. i asked how can she forget all the time about the meal for the passenger? she told me that its a big flight and they cant remember!!!! i told each cabin has nominated crew to serve and in air bus they do shift duty so how come they forget.she didnt reply me any thing about it. any way now come to the main issue----

on 14th of December 2010 our flight was EK586 from Dubai to Dhaka. the transfer from airport to the flight via transit bus after a long waiting. any way, we found in the flight that our seat arenot in serial that we booked for. so many other passenger came from Europe and states who are going facing the same problem. when arrived we just seat on our located seat.but one family told me to exchange that we both family can be seat with our family member. i asked the cabin crew XXXX and she told me that we cant seat with the infant as it was emergency exit row seats. i agreed and told her that we adult will seat there if it is ok for the flight . she gave us permission and we 3 adult (window exit i sat and other 2 passenger from that family who wanted to exchange). ok the flight has been departed and there was not safety video which is making me very strange. i was thinking about what cabin crew XXXXX told when we departed that exit row no child or infant can seat as a matter of safety. i want to tell about my self i am a marine engineer and working for australian merchant navy for the last 10years.20years  i am flying with different air lines in every month. last 5years i am QANTAS frequent flyer gold member. so could not accept what they did. i asked the cabin crew as she told about the safety matter about the exit row seat. then before departure why she did not explain the emergency operation of the emergency exit door???????? where is the safety has been maintained by emirates before flying??????? i asked the safety video matter too. she told it has been shown on tv screen. then i asked my co passenger about safety video they had watch or not? they all said that they haven't seen. she was so grumpy and told that its not to explain the emergency  exit door operation in case of emergency when we take off. she will explain to all of us when we will land and regarding the safety video she told it may be shown before we on board!!!! i told her how come it is possible before all the passenger arrived the safety video has been shown.so i told her i am not happy about the safety video and emergency exit row responsibly explain with demonstration . 
after 10minutes, she came with another cabin crew name XXXXXX. he told me whats my problem. i told what happen. then he told me that he can select any person in this flight for  emergency operation of the emergency exit door. he is not suppose to demonstrate me. then i told him that how come it is possible? if he will select some one from the end row of the flight then in case emergency how the person can come to operate the emergency door? he didnt answer my this question and walk off with the cabin crew XXXXXX. 
we came back to sydney our home  and the same thing happen to the flight in EK 412 on 19th January,2012- no food served in last cabin and same excuse.
any way, i cant accept that the excuse that the air bus is very big and so many passenger that they cant look after all. they has nominated cabin to look after and we pay for the service  in advance.why should we will not get that. ok, we can consider this food matter for this time as it was in Xmas and school holiday season so they were busy but how come when safety issue is coming for the safety video and a sily explanation about the demonstration of emergency exit row seat matter. i really cant consider that safety issue. i will be highly oblige if emirates air lines will investigate that matter and improve the skill of the cabin crew and to give them more information about the safety of the flight and duty of care.
i am waiting for the kind reply from emrates to investigate about the safety issue and resolve that problem that every one can fly with emirates safe with enjoy 
thanks

Emirates flight EK764 from Johannesburg to Dubai, on 23 January are cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances. They kept us on the plane 6 hours trying to fix the engine.

 

Ok, something unexpected happened and we all come to terms with the situation, but Emirates Airlines did nothing right, at least in my case.

I had a ticket from Johannesburg to Dubai and from Dubai to Beograda. My ticket failed due to a fault plane. Emirates gave me other cards, at least I thought so, and that everything will be fine.

In Johannesburg, I was barely able to get more detailed information, what are my rights in this case. I am 4 days late, missing two important business meetings, the loss of several thousand euros for this, my children are left without care because I hared the person who kept them until Tuesday, and my time will be extended until Friday ...

Ok, all this is happening and everything is understandable, but neglect such a great company to its passengers I do not understand.

In Dubai, will not let me pass passport control because I do not have a visa, go back to the Emirates desk and they give me information that they can't provide visa and hotel, because there is no place ... and that I must remain here at the airport 2 nights and all day! Terrific!

I go to Emirates custumer and ask for my rights, and there I get the information that the visa will cost me around $ 180 but the hotels are full. We arrive in a circle and contact relatives, friends, for me to spend huge sums on telephone conversations with their homeland. All we say to be persistent, the Emirates not to behave and to say that I will sue them.

So I did, but sufficiently frustrated, tired, and with tears in my eyes, I return to the Emirates desk customer and ask another person to my right. Comes some head and calms me, saying that there is no need for lawsuits and spreading negative stories about them, that everything will be okay, that Emirates will take care of me. I finally got the hotel (it was already morning) and a visa for 24 hours and am going to take my luggage, but it does. Again, complications, go to the lost and found, look for my luggage and the search is over just the next day at noon ...

In the hotel I have until Thursday, on Thursday, moving the terminal Fly Dubai, finally flying to Belgrade, but I say there that I am not in the system, that my card was canceled because not paid !????

What harassment!

I'm  returned to the terminal - the Emirates and there are telling me that everything was ok, that was probably a problem in the system, to get back on the Flay Dubai and will be all right.

Again, I catch a taxi and go to the Fly Dubai, again nothing, do not give my boarding pass, no confirmation of my flight and I stubbornly refused. I have to turn the taxi and the Emirate .... Unheard of. Is it a concern for passengers? Does this stress can cover your 15 000 Skywardes??

At Emirates, we give a new map and say again to fly back to Dubai. I do not have much time. Desk for 10 minutes zatvara.Ako'm late and if we now do not give a ticket

 

will remain in Dubai, my visa has expired, money I spent on the taxi, my phone does not work, I am alone and scared!

Fly Dubai hardly receive me, but I still do not give a ticket because I still have in the system. They say people waiting a little longer. I've had it all, do not feel well, I just want to go home!

After 10 minutes finally corrected the mistake and I run on a plane!

No one would not wish what I went through. Emirates - Big companies with Big problems. Emirates just do not have a program to deal with crisis situations, may not have the protection of customers, I felt very betrayed, powerless, in a foreign country, playing to one's unwritten rules, harass me from desk to desk, giving me wrong information ...

As for me, will require proper compensation for what was happening to me, if necessary through the courts.
