Dear XXX
Why are emirates flights so expensive to India suddenly? we are getting R$7000/7500 for Lufthansa and BA. (Business)

Even Qatar is cheaper at R$10200!

Emirates website is quoting at R$12,000 plus?

Please consult your colleagues and get back to me if you can.

Dear Mr rathin100 ,

The cheapest fare we have in business class to Delhi is equivalent to USD 7935.00 plus taxes. I know that Europpean carriers have some special fares in business class and this issue was already addressed to our headquerters. I will check if we can offer something different and will let you know.

Regards,

Thanks for your rapid response. My mother is travelling in Business on EK back to India on 23rd May and I would have liked to have flown with her. Since this will be a personal ticket I have to watch my money. But I realize that LH for USD 4400 return GRU-DEL is really difficult to beat!

I would even buy an Economy ticket in EK and use my miles to upgrade one way but don’t want to do that both ways, as then I would use up all my miles, which makes no sense when I am getting such a good deal on LH.

But If you can comp me up GRU DXB Ill happily even buy an Economy ticket on EK and use my miles to upgrade on the return sector.

If anything can be done please let me know Even otherwise I appreciate and value your prompt attention

Thanks and regards

Unfortunately we cannot match LH fares . As I mentioned we have addressed this issue to our headquarters.
