“Basic fares” now offered on Business class

Emirates will introduce a new ‘BASIC’ fare for Business Class starting from 10 June 2019. Passengers booked on a Business Class ‘Special’ fare will continue to enjoy the award-winning services and products on-board, a generous baggage allowance of up to 40 kgs, and priority boarding at their convenience. But it is the elimination of the chauffeur service there will be no more access to the lounge. In addition, no seat selection in advance will be allowed. Not being able to choose a seat before registration, even for a fee, can be extremely frustrating, especially in business class. They also charge higher modification and cancellation fees than other fare types, do not offer the ability to upgrade to First Class using miles, and airline miles are reduced (in the same way as Flex Plus economy passengers).
