emiratesflights.co.uk

Does anyone know if there is any link between Emirates Flights (.co.uk) and Emirates?

It's a pretty stongly branded site, and is part of the Semple Travel group which appears to be based in Glasgow. It may be a marketing initiative of some description, or there may be no link at all (other than Semple Travel being an agent of Emirates).

Just wondering...

I think it is similar to myqatar.co.uk, just an agent site that is a GSA for the airline

A bit misleading, can easily be mistaken for Emirates official site, did a few comparisions and it is definatly more expensive than booking on-line direct with Emirates and you do not get the extra miles ether.

Also the knock on effect is customers thinking they have booked direct with Emirates and when things go wrong they get the flack regardless who is at fault.

My favourite part of the site is how the business class picture is the A340-500 first class suite

Well, they offered a fare of 3450 in First, which I thought was unbelievable. Well, they couldn't tell me how to get the fare, so I gave up (Advertising Standards Authority anyone).

Anyway, a companion fare has just come up for business which saves me and my partner 860 for business including the 110 deposits that I lost on the flights I've been holding since March!

If it's too good to be true, it probably is!
