Jazeera Airways starts summer early, with exciting 2010 schedule on sale today

During a press conference in Kuwait, Stefan Pichler, Jazeera Airways CEO explained to the assembled media that by putting flights on sale now, Jazeera Guests can reap the rewards of booking in advance.

"Next summer is starting early for Jazeera, and Guests that book their travel well in advance will rest assured that they have a seat to their favourite destination booked and confirmed. With our fantastic range of summer destinations, excellent in-flight service and of course highly competitive fares, we are excited about having our busiest summer yet."

Next summer, Guests can choose from special summer destinations, which include some of the region's most historic cities and some of the Middle East's most beautiful beaches.

Sharm El Sheikh is one of the world's best diving destinations with crystal clear waters teeming with sea life and coral reefs, and set on miles of golden sandy beach. Latakia, Syria's coastal resort is alive with ancient history, with a coastline of soft, white beaches that meet the clear blue Mediterranean; or in Turkey, the ancient hill-top coastal resort of Antalya entices visitors with its old-world marina, golden beaches and stunning waterfalls.

For scenic, natural beauty next summer, Salalah in southern Oman offers lush greenery and a cool tropical climate for those who want to escape the heat, while the town's Indian Ocean beaches provide a quiet, relaxing retreat.

Those seeking more adventure in the summer can opt for a city break. Amman offers a mix of ancient and contemporary culture, and is a footstep away from one of nature's wonders: the mineral-rich and healing waters of the Dead Sea. Further afield, Istanbul, the true crossroads between East and West, divided by the Bosphorus, is a real melting pot of glorious ancient civilization and some of the hippest night spots in the world.

Guests feeling more adventurous can head to Yemen's capital, Sanaa - one of the most fascinating cities in the Arab world, with its unique architecture, bustling souqs, friendly inhabitants and lack of tourists. The city's high altitude makes it a cool destination for a summer visit.
