British Airways extends Dubai flight change and refund options until October 31

Dubai passengers booked with British Airways have been given an additional week to cancel or change their travel plans after the airline extended its Middle East flexibility policy until October 31, 2026. Customers can request a full refund even when their flight is still scheduled to operate, while those who want to travel later can change their booking without paying a change fee. The refund policy covers eligible tickets for travel between February 28 and October 31 to or from Abu Dhabi, Amman, Bahrain, Doha, Dubai, Tel Aviv and Riyadh. Customers travelling from June 2 can also move their journey to a later date on the same route or rebook on another British Airways route without paying a change fee, although any fare difference will apply. Singapore Airlines has separately confirmed that SQ494 from Singapore to Dubai and SQ495 from Dubai to Singapore will remain cancelled until October 24.
