Seychelles with Emirates

Hi,

If anyone wants to go Seychelles in the summer, i have found what i Think is an Amazing Deal!

Regular Fare:
Dubai - Seychelles $2600 RTN in Economy

Special Fare:
Dubai - Seychelles with turnaround in KHI $850 RTN in Economy $1000 RTN in Business!

Does anyone have any idea on why Emirates doesnt have an associate hotel in Seychelles?

Thanks

Where did you find that? Does it work for other destinations?

Generally, buying tickets ex KHI is much cheaper than buying ex Dubai for reasons that are beyond me (although I have my hunches) Just go to www.emirates.com and try where you wanna go ex Dubai, then try the exact same thing ex Karachi. For Seychelles I used some dates in August I think .. it was 1/5 the price in J!

If you want more info PM me

and again - does anyone know about why there isnt an associate hotel in Seychelles?

Thanks

I have to go to Karachi and Manila in June, and the quote was only 900 for the flight. Trouble is, you have to get to KHI in the first place!

Yep, that is an issue - but in some cases its still much cheaper to buy a DXB-KHI rtn as well

Another addition - the $1000 CAD fare for Karachi to Mahe Seychelles in J includes First Class KHI-DXB-KHI because they are using 3 class aircraft and selling it as JY. When you select your seats online, you can reserve the F class seats

How do you select your seats online? Is it a new feature? I can't seem to find it from the Skywards "My Itineries" page.

Also, it says that you can now book your chauffeur drive online, but I can't seem to find that either!

Cheers,
Rick

hey,

for some reason, the chauffer drive / advanced seat selection only appears for Business & First Class. Either its a FJ privelage or a bug... im not sure which. (yes, i know there is no chauffer drive for economy )
