Flydubai launches its first sale

The bargain prices come as part of Flydubai's promise to provide more affordable and accessible travel to many more people. The first Flydubai sale represents the launch of a concept that will become a regular Flydubai feature.

The sale includes selected flights on all routes, except Aleppo, between Monday 22nd June and Monday 14th September 2009. The Flydubai website will be open for sale bookings between 23:59hrs Dubai time (22:59 in Jordan) on Sunday 21st June and 23:59hrs Dubai time (22:59 in Jordan) on Tuesday 30th June, or until availability runs out.

Customers can also book flights through the Flydubai 24 hour call centre (06 550 7660) and at selected travel agents.

Ghaith Al Ghaith, Chief Executive Officer of Flydubai, said his sales team are ready to be inundated by interest in the sale.

Al Ghaith said:

"We think with one way prices, including all taxes and one piece of hand baggage of up to 10 kgs per person, these tickets will be hard to resist."

He added, "The Flydubai sale is just one of many ways we are proving our innovative and flexible approach to providing the best and most affordable flights across the region, making travel a little less complex, a little less stressful and a little less expensive.

"We will announce Flydubai sales periodically - they will always have great value flights, they will always start just before midnight and customers will need to get in quick and book early to take advantage of our fantastic offers. Travel is fun and exciting and the Flydubai sale ensures it is accessible to more people than ever before," stated Al Ghaith.

"The Flydubai sale ensures more people can travel to more places more often and keep in touch with friends, family and business associates. This makes both short and long term breaks even more affordable and gives tourism a boost - it really is that easy," he said.

Flydubai is rapidly expanding its network across a region within four and a half hours flying time of Dubai. It has already started flights to four destinations and will be announcing further routes soon. The aircraft used on all flights will be Boeing 737-800 NG models, with 189 economy class seats and a flying range of over 5,500 kilometres.

The Flydubai model is simple, with customers paying only for the services they want to receive. The ticket price includes all taxes and one piece of hand baggage, weighing up to 10kg, per passenger.

Passengers have the option to purchase checked-in baggage in advance, weighing up to 32kgs, subject to availability. Checked baggage at the airport is also strictly subject to availability and passengers are advised to book online early to secure the space, as only pre-purchased baggage can be guaranteed.

A nominal payment allows customers to select their seat and secures the extra legroom positions. Bookings can be changed for a small fee, plus any difference in the fare, and food and drink can be purchased on board.
