Not so good. Flight was departed 2 hours late from DC and we missed our connecting flight from Dubai to Mumbai. Our flight Dubai to Mumbai got delayed by three hours. Once we arrived Bombay airport we didnot get all our luggage bags. We were missing two luggage bags so found out that our those two luggage bags are coming in different flight. First they gave us wrong flight information in which our missing luggage coming and wrong phone number to whom we should reach out. I spent hours and hours at the airport to find out our luggage bags. After four five hours later and hectic time at the airport to get our luggage bags. Overall poor communication with emirates staff at the airport and no one is helpful.

FAQs about flying to Erbil

Best Time to Fly to Erbil, Iraq

Summer heat can be extreme, so the city is best avoided during the months of May to September if you prefer cooler conditions.  Winter in Erbil is short and sometimes wet, but temperatures never get uncomfortable between November and February, so it’s a good period to plan a stay – particularly at Christmas when the malls are decorated for the festive season.  You can also try skiing and zip-lining on Korek Mountain or stay in one of the comfortable mountain cottages.  The best time to visit is March or April when the parks, hills and nearby mountains are green, and the days are warm and pleasant.
