Emirates recent travel announcements provide an insight into its approach to leadership in providing, and encouraging safe international travel.
One of the most popular routes to the UK and Europe from New Zealand is returning with the Emirates direct service between Auckland and Dubai from July 2020.
As Fine Travel’s most popular Business Class option to the UK and Europe last year, it was encouraging to see Qatar Airways start offering an alternative for travellers from New Zealand who need to get to the UK and Europe (despite border restrictions).
Heath and quarantine measures have been well covered in the media and will need to be addressed before New Zealanders confidently travel to the UK and Europe again. Based on what we learned as travel agents at the front line of the travel fall-out from the Covid-19 pandemic, we address what else travellers should consider before booking their airfares to the UK and Europe.
When Emirates made the global announcement that it would be launching a “reduced service” Business Class offering, we were eager to see it in the New Zealand market. Emirates has now launched the new “H Class” Business Class airfares between Auckland and Bali, selected South East Asian destinations and Johannesburg, so we review the changes.
After receiving a few questions from potential Fine Travel clients about the margin we add to discounted Business Class Flights from New Zealand (or any flights from New Zealand) we thought it was a good idea to be upfront, provide a direct answer and clear up any confusion.
We’ve all been there — crushed legs from the seat in front, a stiff neck from trying to sleep in awkward positions and those less than appetising meals. Your choice of seat can have a big impact on your in-flight experience.
