Emirates delay compensation
Emirates is not an EU carrier, but EU/UK departures on Emirates are covered by EU261/UK261. Dubai inbound on Emirates alone usually does not trigger EU261.
Tips for Emirates claims
- Delayed Frankfurt → Dubai on Emirates: EU departure - typically covered.
- Emirates may offer hotel/meal vouchers - statutory compensation is separate.
- Long-haul EU departures often map to the €600 distance band.
Compensation amounts
On qualifying routes, fixed compensation is typically €250 (short haul), €400 (medium), or €600 (long haul) per passenger when arrival delay is 3+ hours and extraordinary circumstances do not apply. Estimate yours with the calculator or read how to claim.
