Across 100 destinations where Emirates operates, this airline is offering a global sale which is going to last till 9th January 2012 local time, and valid for economy, business as well as first class seating. Members of the Skywards program get added discounts via promocodes they may have received already. The minimum stay required is 3 days, and you can book a free stopover in Dubai either ways. So, this looks like an attractive promotion if you are looking to travel between 22nd January 2012 and 30th June 2012.
Here are the countries where the promo is being made:
The offers look good but are capacity controlled. For instance, a return trip between New York and India (coach) would cost $1300 upwards, while they are giving away for $1100. Business class fares are at $4700. There are good fares to the Indian Ocean also (read Mauritius and Maldives) at $1500 RT in Coach.
From India, the prices are also similar. Mumbai to New York and back is costing at Rupees 50K. Dubai is 15K, much the regular pricing on this segment.
With the good hospitality that EK provides, those are good fares to match. So book up if you have some plans ready over the next 3 days….
My grandparents are looking for Business class seats from NYC to BOM and they found $3500 on CO and $4700 First Class on EY. Looks like EK needs to reduces their prices further.
@Rik, even AI might get a good rate. Or the airport upgrade scheme of theirs could also help
@also there is the Air India companion fare offer.
