[Offer] 7% Discount

i'm not sure if this is meant for widespread distribution, but i figure why not share with my FT brethren as i'm sure you guys would do the same.

EK Corporate is running an offer which appears to be limited to UAE residents as follows:

Book online at www.emirates.ae with promotional code AEDTC10 and enjoy 7% discount on all market fares in Business, and Economy class from Dubai to all EK online destinations.

Note, the offer is valid for sale until 17th January 2010 and outbound travel until 31st March 2010.

i obtained this offer through work at the DIFC, if anybody was curious.

happy travels.

It states, "Special Fare for DIFC Travel Clinic." If it is corporate discount for workers at a particular place, you should not be publishing this is a public forum unless the clinic in some way benefits by getting people to use the code. It is the same with corporate rates for hotels. You can't just give everybody your employer's discount code.

do you really think they care? i spoke with the staff at this clinic, and they are hoping that fares generated from this "event" exceed the approx 13,000AED it cost them to set up a temporary booth. at the end of the day, it's just additional revenue for EK and the offered discount isn't being offered at below-profit margin levels.

i'm sorry you feel offended by this thread. nobody will twist your arm so by all means, pay full fare if that pleases you.

Upgrade possibility

Hi:
I'm new to EK and want to upgrade on a SFO-Dubai trip in June. I'm a 1K on United. Any recommendations? Thanks.
