Travel enthusiasts in Sri Lanka seeking new destinations to conquer can visit Mexico City at a significant saving from December 9, when Emirates commences flights to the destination via Barcelona in Spain, subject to government approval.
These special fares, which represent a saving of about 20 per cent, are available for bookings made between October 15 and November 4, 2019, for travel commencing December 8 and ending August 31, 2020, the airline said.
Emirates Skywards, the airline’s award-winning frequent flyer program, has a Cash+Miles offer when booking online. This means travellers can pay a part of the ticket with their accumulated Skywards Miles and the balance in cash.
“Mexico is one of the most vibrant, colourful and culturally intriguing destinations in the world,” said Chandana de Silva, Emirates’ Area Manager for Sri Lanka and Maldives.
“It has, however, not been well-connected to Sri Lanka in terms of flights, and the launch of Emirates services via Barcelona not only makes the destination more accessible, it also offers a great opportunity to experience multiple destinations – Dubai, Barcelona and Mexico City – in one trip for those who have the time for stopovers,” he said.
Emirates has also announced introductory Business Class fares valid during the period of the promotion.
The new route will be operated with Emirates’ newly-refurbished Boeing 777-200LR aircraft in two-class configurations.
