Hilton, MasterCard and British Airways team up to launch first ever regional dine and fly promotion across the GCC this summer

"The regional summer food and beverage promotion is a first for Hilton International. We wanted to spotlight our restaurants during the summer season, and offer local residents and corporate diners an added incentive to dine at Hilton. Avid Gordon Ramsay fans will be delighted to see that Verre at Hilton Dubai Creek, his first restaurant outside the UK, is included in the 20 per cent discount promotion which runs from July 1st to September 15th," said Guy Epsom, Regional Sales and Marketing Director, Hilton International, Arabian Peninsula.

Up for grabs are ten British Airways First Class return tickets from the GCC to London with luxury accommodation at Hilton hotels in London including the leading hotel chain's worldwide flagship property London Hilton on Park Lane. Every diner will be given a form, which enters him or her into a draw to win the grand prize. British Airways is also offering all diners ten per cent off World Traveller tickets and 15 per cent off World Traveller Plus tickets, when a receipt of their meal is presented in the local British Airways Travel Shop and payment is made with MasterCard.

Commenting on the promotion, Terry Parry, Marketing Manager, Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia, British Airways said, "Our partnership with Hilton has proved to be more than successful over the past three years. With the involvement of a payment solutions company this promotion is a win-win-win situation for our customers. It is also an excellent opportunity for our customers to win the British Airways' FIRST experience - exceptional comfort and refined surroundings to create a flying experience that is unmistakably first."

Secondary prizes will also be raffled, which include weekend stays, free meals and spa vouchers at Hilton properties across the Arabian Peninsula.

"Having launched the Hilton For Free promotion earlier this year, we are excited about accelerating our alliance even further by welcoming British Airways on board and creating this fantastic promotion for cardholders," said Thomas Edelmann, vice president, strategic alliances & business development, MasterCard International, Middle East North Africa Region. "With this promotion, not only do MasterCard cardholders have the opportunity to enjoy the array of world class restaurants with Hilton, but they can also enjoy the unsurpassed travel experience with British Airways. What better way to use your MasterCard card!"

Thirty restaurants across twelve Hilton properties in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain, Dubai, Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah, Jeddah, Kuwait, Salalah and Bahrain are participating in the promotion with the raffle draw taking place at the end of September.
