Tempting Offers for Travellers as Airlines Reduce Fares

DUBAI - If you are fond of travelling, this is an excellent time to do so as airlines are offering heavily reduced fares.

Airline companies in the UAE have told that they still have a healthy rate of ticket bookings, but not as much as before the global crunch unravelled. They are coming up with ‘crazy’ packages to lure tourists to the UAE.

Emirates Airlines, for instance, is offering special Dubai Shopping Festival packages to its customers who fly to or stop over in Dubai, regardless of the class of travel.

“They can choose from a wide selection of 20 hotels at highly competitive prices starting from as low as $55 (Dh200) per person per night,” Adnan Kazim, Emirates’ senior vice-president, commercial operations Gulf Middle East and Iran, told recently.

Kazim said travellers could opt for a luxurious experience at Atlantis, The Palm, the renowned Jumeirah Emirates Towers or the Grand Hyatt Dubai, according to their personal preferences.

The offer, he said, could be had by booking for a minimum of three nights, with the option of extension.

Similarly, Malaysia Airlines is giving a juicy offer to travellers to Beirut, Lebanon and Karachi, Pakistan.

Dubai-Beirut return in economy class costs only Dh100 and in business class Dh1,800. Dubai-Karachi travellers can go in economy class for Dh50 and business class for Dh600. These packages are valid for travel till February 28. The offer ends on February 10, exclusive of taxes and surcharges.

Doris Rodrigues, marketing officer of Malaysia Airlines, told that stopover promotion is also available. “We offer free side-trip package, a special value-added promotion, to Malaysia Airlines passengers who purchase tickets from Dubai to beyond Kuala Lumpur.”

Etihad Airways told that it has special promotions for six destinations in the Middle East, Moscow and London. “Our passengers have to check on our web site to see what suits them,” Thomas Clarke, Etihad Airways Corporation communications manager, said.

“Generally, we have not cut down on our airfares because the demand for travel is still strong,” he said.

A spokesperson of British Airways also told that it has increased its services in the Middle East despite the global economic uncertainty as the region continues to be a vitally important market for the airline. “Our bookings throughout the year, especially during the winter holiday season, remain positive.”

He said the airlines is now servicing three flights per day, a fourth flight five times a week, and larger aircraft servicing Dubai, Qatar and Bahrain routes during the current season. “We have also resumed our services to Saudi Arabia, with flights to both Riyadh and Jeddah.”
