Just fyi I used a loophole to cancel an EK flight (booked via QF).
Qantas have been bugging me for ages to review and accept minor schedule changes - tonight I just called up and said the new schedule wouldn't work for me, so got full fee free refund issued.
Worth considering if you're in a similar situation - not sure if the offer was due to Emirates policy or EU requirements, but either way a minor inconvenience provides a useful loophole if you're not comfortable waiting to see if your flight will be on the refund list due to conflict.
