Emirates airline from Dubai in the United Arab Emirates reimburses corona treatments up to 150.000 euros for travelers who are on holiday and contract the corona virus. In addition, “quarantine costs” are reimbursed up to a maximum of 100 euros per day.
This insurance for COVID-19 related medical costs and quarantine costs is offered by Emirates free of charge to all its customers, regardless of cabin class or destination. The cover takes effect immediately and is valid until October 31, 2020. The insurance is valid for 31 days from the moment they board the plane.
This means that Emirates customers can continue to enjoy the added security of this cover, even if they continue their journey to another city after arriving at their destination.
Emirates passengers do not need to register or fill out forms before travelling, and they are not required to use this cover provided by Emirates. Any affected customer who has been diagnosed with COVID-19 during their journey simply needs to contact a dedicated hotline for assistance and coverage.

It's great that the Emirates offers this, it's just a pity that they are still lagging behind with vouchers and compensation for flights that have already been canceled due to Corona. They seem to prefer having new customers who are still making money from them rather than making an effort to deal with the customers who are still waiting for compensation. 4 months after canceled flights, still nothing from this "reputable company" despite various emails.
Did you book directly with them or through a booking agency? I have also been waiting for 4 months for a refund that I had booked with them through Budgetair. While a ticket is directly converted into a credit voucher within 2 months.
Vouchers are old fashioned, it is clearly written on the website that canceled bookings can be used for new bookings and that you can also use them for flights to elsewhere. Contact us if there is another flight or if you take a flight, they write and then the canceled flight will be converted to the new, valid period is 2 years and without additional payment if it concerns the original destination.
And paying back will take a while in these corona times, which company is not in trouble.
The fact that they already offer insurance says that they are doing their best and are customer-friendly, a few months ago they were the first to take a corona test from passengers on some flights before the departure of their flights.
The way an airline deals with problems and treats customers is an excellent indication of its true quality. In that respect – for me – EVA Air stands out in a positive way.
True, my travel organization Gate – 1 literally left me suffocated (No information about new departure dates, etc.), but Eva Air helped me with a new confirmation and e-ticket within 7 minutes.
Booked directly with Emirates, flight of April 14 was canceled on March 20 due to Corona, money back after 3 months in June PLEASE NOTE you only get the tax on the ticket back, our flight from my wife and I cost 1474 euros, we got 158 euros back, you You are not entitled to a refund if you want to go to Europe from a non-European city of Bangkok and a non-European airline.
Received my money back in my bank account within 5 days!!
Also for me Eva Air, well organized, and all negative reactions about Gate1 can of course not be called good.
However, we also had a ticket via Gate1 with Eva Air, received vouchers from Eva Air within 2 working days after cancellation. Only I did not want to accept the vouchers, after an email that we wanted a refund of the entire amount, the entire amount was back on my account within 3 working days.
