Emirates Offering Great Earlybird Value to 38 Europe Points

Emirates’ Earlybird fares from New Zealand announced today include a host of Europe destinations – among them London from $1,959 return - across the network of 38 European cities that it flies to directly.

The Earlybird fares, for travel in 2017, include 17 points in Europe that will be accessible by A380 flights all the way from New Zealand, including one from Auckland with just one stop, in Dubai.

Because of its wide range of Europe destinations, Emirates offers travellers the chance to fly into one city to begin their trip and then return to New Zealand from another of the points that it serves in Europe.

Emirates Skywards members can also take advantage of the frequent-flyer programme’s new Cash+Miles offering, which allows customers to book a seat on any Emirates flight, in any class, and pay with a combination of cash and Skywards Miles, further bringing down the cost of the fare.

Emirates offers generous free baggage allowance of up to 35kg for Economy Class travellers, 40kg for Business Class customers and 50kg for First Class fliers. The airline’s full-service offering also includes free wi-fi and more than 2,500 channels of inflight entertainment, gourmet meals and top wines. Business Class and First Class passengers also have complimentary chauffeur-drive transport.

From October 31, Emirates will offer four services daily from Auckland – the non-stop flight to Dubai plus the other three via Australia – as well as one from Christchurch, flying its flagship double-decker A380s with direct connectivity at Dubai to A380 flights to 17 points in Europe.

In all, Emirates operates five daily services from New Zealand to Dubai and beyond, including a daily flight from Christchurch which will be upgraded to an A380 service from the end of October.
