The special fares present the ideal holiday opportunity to fully-vaccinated travellers who have been waiting to reunite with family and friends around the world, or to leisure seekers that simply want to explore new destinations, the airline said.
Travel during the period covered by the special fares also enables travellers to take a break in Dubai of up to 21 days en-route to enjoy what Dubai has to offer, including a visit to the must-see EXPO 2020 exhibition. Emirates customers visiting and travelling through Dubai anytime during this mega global event are eligible to receive a free Emirates Expo Day Pass for every flight ticket booked with the airline.
