I have someone that has gone to London from the US (US CITIZEN) booked a return flight with Emirates has a 4 hour layover in Dubai before returning to JFK in New York. He was told that he needed a $1,000 BTA before they would allow him to fly
Problem is he doesn't have a 1,000. His wallet was lost while there and since his cards were turned off and he has no cash
He is stuck. Is this a requirement for overseas travel?
