So upset

My boyfriend and I recently booked flights home after recieving some sad news. Our domestic flight was grounded for 4 hours due to a huge storm so we couldn't get to Beijing to take our International flight with Emirates. We booked brand new flights on the same day because we had to get back so that cost us alot more money. Now we are in South Africa and Emirates is saying that we cannot use the return flight, now the whole flight (return included) is considered 'no show' and we have to book a new flight to get back to China at our own expense. We have lost so much money and now we have to spend more with all the new flight bookings. We have always flown with Emirates and been satisfied but this whole situation has really upset us and we think it is so unfair that we cannot even use our return leg of the ticket as we have already paid for it, we did not miss the flight on purpose.

Becareful when booking with Emirates!
