Emirates plugs South Korea route

21 April 2005

Emirates is offering free hotel nights to lure premium passengers on to its Seoul flights.
The carrier launches flights from Dubai to Seoul on May 1, with a connection time of less than three hours from Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.
In a bid to get bums on premium class seats, Emirates is offering three hotel nights in Seoul to first class passengers and two nights to business class passengers.

The hotel nights, which include breakfast, are in a Deluxe Room at the Ritz Carlton Seoul, which is close to the World Trade Center, home to the Olympic Stadium, shops, and restaurants. The hotel has a fitness centre, indoor swimming pool, driving range, six restaurants, a pub and disco, bar and lounge.

Emirates flights will operate daily to Seoul with a connection of less than three hours in Dubai for customers departing the UK.

The total travel time between the UK and South Korea is 18 hours outbound and 20 hours return. Weekday return fares start at £709 in economy, £1,872 in Business Class and £2,672 in First Class (fares include taxes and charges). Go to www.emirates.com/uk.
