Emirates "kids go free" Offer

SDJC's picture

Emirates Airline has dismissed suggestions that its latest promotion, offering children free flights, accommodation and meals in Dubai, is being launched in reaction to a drop in demand for seats.

The Dubai-based carrier told Arabian Business on Thursday that offering families affordable packages to visit the emirate is the only reason for launching the ‘kids go free’ scheme.

“This promotion has been launched to offer our customers the opportunity to have a family holiday in a unique destination without breaking their budget,” Russell Sheldon, senior vice president for Emirates’ network passenger sales development, said.

From "select cities to Dubai"...

Sure, I'm sure it's:

Kids go for free, if they're infants who sit on a lap.
Kids go for free, you just pay the taxes.
Kids go for free, if you start your trip from Bahrain, Muscat, any city in Zimbabwe, or Izmir, Turkey.
Kids go for free, to a limit of 2 kids.
Kids go for free, if they're under 3 years old.

Just looked at it..it is actually quite good..up to 2 kids under 16 years old, with 2 adults . They even give free accom for the kids in 33 6 star hotels and various other freebies...but they did NOT say where you have to fly out from...so Qatar might not be eligible....will try to find out more.

There is always hope......as God helps those who help themselves

I read the Emirates website and it seems like a genuine, honest deal with no major catches.

You'll still have to pay the taxes on the tickets, but other than that there are no hidden fees etc.

Visit the Emirates site for more info:

Oh no more howling brats on flights....flinging their food and kicking your seat (yep I got my seat kicked all the way from Doha to Cape Town once)
I hope the offer includes sticking the mutts in the cargo hold .......
