OP here, as a traveler, no way for me to know the reasons for the delays.
They say "operational issue" and that's it.

Anyhow, updates here:
I think it's unusual for the flight having a 10 hours delay followed by another 4 hours delay on consecutive day.
But that's what happened. And with a 3 hours layover for connecting flight, and
not willing to spend overnight at connecting city, I ended up delay my trip by two days.

Anyhow, not much I can do and I'm just not rich enough to have my own charter plane.

Thank you all for your ideas, you are very kind and knowledgeable people!

Happy Travel everyone!

This is OP, update:
I booked via Trip.com, so Trip.com able to move my departure one day later as they don't see any other option. Now I leave on 7/11 instead of 7/10.

New problem: 7/11 departure flight again will be delayed, by 4 hours. So I will be missing the connecting flight again.

Now trying to work with trip.com to back on 7/10 departure flight, in order to make 7/12 connecting flight at Dubai.

Crazy, wish me luck! Thank you guys so much!

Thank you so much for all your input!

I'm the OP. I called Emirates, they said that I should call my booking agent, XieCheng (Ctrip.com).

I'm on phone with CTrip.com now.
Will update you guys.

I was just informed that my Emirates EK232 delayed by 10 hours July 10th 2023

Flight is IAD - DXB (Dubai)

Obviously I will be missing my connecting flight.

This is first time I encountered this kind of delay, wondering any suggestion on how to handle that?

Any way to connect with some fellow passengers so that we can share the information and figure out together?

Your input is appreciated!

Thanks!

If money is not an issue and your kid cooperates well, that could be a boosting factor. Otherwise, not too much difference it can make.

obviously not all colleges gone to keyless. Depends on which schools they go to.
