New Years sale?
Hello everyone and a happy new year to all of you!
Usually Emirates has a new year sale with 20-30% off in the first ten days of the year. Since I'm about to book a ticket with them I was waiting for that but didn't see anything yet. Is anyone aware of this sale coming up soon? Ben |
I’ve never noticed this for a long time, maybe in certain regions?
From the UK we seem to have an ongoing and never ending promotional fares that have been creeping up on each renewal, in fact India used to be £1500 in J and now it’s hitting £2k so it’s up by about £150 per year, these fares ticket as SAVER and I have not seen a PROMO fare for a very long time. PS.....Update Just sitting in turbojet lounge in Macau and just had an advert for the EK global sale book by Jan23. Though still to look and lacking any email from them at the moment, not sure if it's real tbh..... |
Looks like sales has started, got an email this AM from Emirates "Plan your next getaway now with our special fares"
Found a good fare to Istanbul which I have been watching for a while. |

On Emirates the fare comes to +- R12 600, and then using my medical aid which offers a further discount on Emirates flight, they giving me 25% off so in total it is coming to +- R9900 for 2 pax. |

Does EK ever have promotional fares in F? May be booking an F ticket shortly and would hate it if a promo arrived soon thereafter!
|
EK have been super pricey lately imo

I never seen it sadly :(
Many, many years ago (when they were still trying to break into the big time) they did occasional 2 for 1 type promotions in F and J. I guess they don't need to do that any more. |

Look around different flights on a given day a bit if it suits your schedule. Sometimes you get them on two of the flights and not on the third. |

I have recently been able to book F saver fares out of CPT (to LGW). They’re were basically on a par with J Flex. The main requirement appears to be 21 days advance purchase. Maybe not ‘promotional’ as such but if you don’t need the flexibility (or are prepared to pay a R3500 change fee), I think this is excellent value.

It's been years since I booked an EK F ticket but I see the seat reservation is still rubbish: most of the cabin blocked! So impossible to get two seats together. :rolleyes: |

Yep, it's those Saver fares that got me interested. Managed to find them for flights on (almost) the dates I want. And you're right that the change fee is rather daunting. But it's a real mission finding the Saver fares on the EK web site - and ITA Matrix shows phantom availability. Eventually tracked them down using ExpertFlyer to identify availability in A class.
