Ey: Mad-dxb rt €739

Technically you’ll need to search the coach station - XNB in Dubai.

Many of you may have seen this already, but it looks as though up to end of March 22 MAD to AUH … then a bus/coach transfer to Dubai, is available in business class with Etihad. €739 return, which is approx £629.

With a quick look I haven’t been able to price favourably one way - let me know if you can - as it would be helpful!

Didn’t seem to show on GF, but prices out on the EY app.

Do you have to take the bus leg, or can you drop them without anyone noticing?

I’m not sure - but probably better safe than sorry, in the respect that if you skip a leg of a ticket you’ll usually find the rest of it cancelled by the airline.

Let’s see if anyone else has experience with this particular situation!

Wow good spot, it works from a lot of places in Europe, London is under 1000 GBP, FCo, MXP for 740 Euro. IT is a really sweet deal.
Thank you for posting it

You can drop one or the other bus legs on the Madrid Fare and have it price at €1120, which may still be worth it to some.


Didn't I nearly have a heart attack when I saw this, was reaching for the credit card but alas not to be. Just a momentary blip..

I saw this fare last week. Very good.

Also remember if you have an Amex card use promo code AMXD0120 when purchasing to get 10% off (doesn't include taxes so usually closer to about 6%). Fore example it brings LHR-XNB down from £1002 to £950.

Apparently UAE laws don't currently allow for shared coaches so EY have been using private chauffeurs for everyone to Dubai instead.

I genuinely think so. There used to be a special page for it before where it asked for the last 4 digits of your card before taking you to the next page. I can't seem to find this anymore so can't find a way to test it.

I’ve many times not taken the bus on the way back from DXB-AUH.

I cannot see the good pricing for Germany though. Seems to still have good pricing from e.g., MAD and CDG
