Emirates Airlines They ripped me off over $1300. Dubai

Last year at the end of August, I flre from Los Angeles to Cairo, Egypt, with Emirates airlines, with a stop in Dubai. On the way in, no problem. The problems began on the way back to Los Angeles.

Even though I waa over one hour earlier at the airport in Cairo, the airline refused to allow me to board the plane. There was plenty of time for me to go through security and board the plane.

Instead, I was told that I could board the next plane to Dubai, on a waiting list, but, I had to pay over $640, even though I had already paid for the entire ticket. Since I was on the waiting list, I decide to take another airline, Egypt Air, to fly to Dubai, since I did not want to loose my connecting flight to Los Angeles, in Dubai.

When I arrived in Dubai, I attempted to board the plane to Los Angeles, which, again, I had already paid, but I was denied boarding, unless I paid in additional $660.00. I had paid already over $640 out of my pocket, and now they wanted an additional $640.00. I missed the flight. I had to contact my wife, to send me the money. I was able to board the next day plane.

Emirates Airlines do this to a lot of passengers. They know they got us by our balls, since we are so far away from home.

A lot of Americans get victimized this way by this crooked airline. I wish Congress began an investigation into the business practice of this airline. I doubt that they are abiding with whatever international treaties that apply to airlines.

Such a crooked airline should not be allowed to fly in the USA. If the US government were able to close the American skys to them, that would be to the greatest benefit of the American traveler.
