New world-wide stopover offers for Emirates passengers

Featuring 12 Dubai hotels for the first time this year, including the landmark Burj Al Arab property, the programme offers carefully selected 3,4 and 5* plus hotels in locations as far apart as San Francisco and Seoul.

Accommodation can be booked for any length of time through most major travel agencies, on purchase and booking of any Emirates flight irrespective of class of travel. All packages must have been pre-booked, confirmed and fully paid for prior to the passenger's departure to ensure validity and passengers will be issued with a booking reference and confirmation on settlement, to ensure ease of check-in at the chosen hotel. Once paid for, Emirates guarantees that no additional charges, regardless of increases in monetary exchange rates, will be levied.

Published rates are based on a twin-sharing basis, but passengers can secure single rooms through payment of a set supplement. Children under 12 can be accommodated in their parents' room free of charge, unless otherwise stated at the time of booking. Whilst transfers are not included in the package price, many of the hotels do include value added extras and breakfast in their special rates.

"We are delighted to now be able to offer our passengers such excellent deals in so many world wide hotels," says Ghaith Al Ghaith, Emirates' Commercial Operations Director.

"We are especially pleased to include so many quality hotels in Dubai, in particular the seven star Burj Al Arab, which we hope will further encourage our passengers to sample the unique delights of this wonderful Emirate".
