Passengers can select their seats via the Manage a Booking page provided they booked their flights online. Passengers travelling with small children and infants as well as First and Business-Class flyers and Skywards members can also select their own seats. Some things can be changed via the Manage a Booking page. These include contact details, requested seats and frequent-flyer number. For other changes, passengers should contact their local Emirates office. There may be fees associated with making changes to the ticket.

Discounts are available for infants under the age of two and children between the ages of two and 11. Check with the airline when booking.

Senior fares are not available on Emirates.

Pets and service animals are not allowed to travel in the cabin with their owners. They are transported in the aircraft hold for an extra charge.

There are three ways of transporting musical instruments: as checked baggage (part of the baggage allowance), as cabin baggage (part of the allowance) and as cabin baggage on an unoccupied seat. Passengers may have to buy a seat for the musical instrument if it is too big or too heavy.
