Hello everyone,

I would like to know if anyone has any information from the British Foreign Office regarding assistance for British citizens currently stranded in Dubai.

British Airways has not yet announced when flights from Dubai to London Heathrow will resume. I have also read that the Dubai Government may be covering extended hotel stays during this disruption.

Does anyone have confirmed information about this, or know which agency in Dubai I should contact for accurate guidance?

Hello Sheila,

Please refer to my post, “Information for UK Citizens in the United Arab Emirates,” where you will find a link and a phone number to contact the embassy.

As for the Dubai government possibly covering extended hotel stays during this disruption, I will leave it to members currently on the ground to confirm.

Stay safe,

Cheryl
