Dubai: In line with Emirates' continued efforts to promote Dubai as a world-class tourist destination, the airline yesterday said it is offering First and Business Class passengers flying to or via Dubai special super value packages from July 1 to August 31.
First Class Passengers receive two nights at The Palace - The Old Town or The Harbour Hotel and Residence.
Business Class passengers receive one night's stay at Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel or The Harbour Hotel and Residence.
Each person will also get $100 credit at the hotel to be used towards food and beverage and/or spa facilities and a 96-hour visa.
This offer is valid from July 1 to August 31 and is applicable to all Emirates adult fare paying passengers travelling to Dubai exclusively on flights operated by Emirates.
Passengers who travel Business Class on routes that do not offer First Class but travel beyond Dubai on First Class are entitled to the First Class offer.
The offer includes a Deluxe Room at The Palace - The Old Town, two Bedroom Suite at The Harbour Hotel and Residence and a Deluxe Room at Jumeirah Emirates Towers on bed and breakfast basis inclusive of all applicable taxes and service charges.
The offer applies to First and Business Class passengers travelling exclusively on Emirates flights to or via Dubai from anywhere on its network.
Travel must originate outside the UAE and turn-around passengers or those travelling on frequent flyer redemption tickets cannot apply. Accommodation has to be pre-booked and need not be used immediately on arrival in Dubai.
Nabil Sultan, Emirates Senior Vice-President Commercial Operations Gulf, Middle East and Iran, said: "This is a great opportunity for business and leisure travellers alike. We are offering our customers a hassle-free holiday as they do not have to worry about booking accommodation. Emirates is always looking for ways to reward our customers, and this offer fits perfectly into our objective of being number one in client satisfaction."
"Our special offers every year are a big success and something our passengers look forward to. We expect this offer for First and Business Class travellers to be a complete sell-out as it has been in previous years."
