Emirates launches Zimbabwe companion special

HARARE - Emirates makes travelling for Zimbabwean fliers all the more interesting and fun with the launch of its Companion Fare to destinations within its network.

The special fares are aimed at encouraging more of Emirates'  'globalistas' looking to travel in pairs and groups to make good on their resolutions to see the world and share experiences.

The fares cater for a minimum of two and maximum of nine passengers travelling together on all sectors and booked on the same booking reference. Bookings have to be made between February 4 to February 21, 2016 for travel from February 4 to June 30, 2016 for business and economy class flights.
