"On outbound flight we (myself, my wife and little son) missed the connection flight due to the fact that Emirates refused to check-in us for the connection flight in Dubai, the plaine was late in Birmingham, and unrealistic time left between the flights, which didn't allow us to chek-in for the connection flight in Birmingham, and we had to stay overnight in Birmingham. The Emirates, despite being responsible for this problem, were arguing for 2 hours in Birmingham and refusing to pay for the overnight stay in the hotel and for rescheduling the connection flight with Airlingus forsing us to cover all the unexpected expected expenses by ourselves or stay overnight on the rainy & cold Birmingham street with a little child. We had to threaten them with the court action so they started to move and finally agreed to pay for the overnight stay in the hotel and rescheduled flight with Airlingus. Overall: this was the worst flight in my life among 400-500 previous flight experiences."
