Emirates Cancels Singapore to Melbourne Flights

[serfty]

The policy you linked refers to rebooking on an EK operated flight if the schedule change is an EK flight.
This will not get customers booked on MEL-SIN onto QF metal.

“

Rebooking​

Rebook to another QF operated and marketed flight or rebook to another QF marketed flight operated by Emirates if the schedule changed flight is operated by Emirates:”

Exactly!
By that policy rerouting on Emirates metal, even via DXB, would be fine (as long as a valid route, let alone finding a codeshare).

In any case, I'm sure there would be a specific policy published here.

Would require it to be a valid route.
I do not imagine that MEL-DXB-SIN and vv is a valid route

“

• To connecting QF marketed flights operated by Emirates or QF operated and marketed flights as permitted by the route map if the schedule changed flight is operated by Emirates; “

I think that anyone who is relying on QF to rebook them from an Award ticket on the cancelled EK MEL-SIN route should be prepared for that not to be rebooked and them being offered a refund.
If I had a ticket on this that was crucial I would be looking at alternatives now.

But I suspect they will be restricted to booking valid routings. MEL-SIN probably doesn’t allow routing via DXB?

It would be wonderful if QF came to the party and gave everyone a seat on Qantas if they have booked an emirates award. But It’s not something I’d be counting on, and i don’t think it’s ‘guaranteed’ as has been suggested up thread.

Edited! ‘snap’ with princess fiona!
