So my return flight was suddenly rescheduled yesterday; didn't even get an email (randomly logged into my Emirates app and saw it was done already). Earlier my layover in Dubai was just an hour but now it's gone up to 12 hours - that's with 2 children! They did offer Dubai Connect but our passports are from a country which is not favoured by the UAE at the moment so we are unlikely to get visas. After much discussion they've put us on an alternate flight but the layover is still 7 hours. Beyond that not offering any food vouchers or lounge access or at least seats with extra legroom. Any advice on how to get them to facilitate us in a better way since we are a family with two children?
