HARARE - Emirates, which flies daily from Harare to Dubai via Lusaka, has reinforced its pledge to offer year-round value-for-money fares to travellers from Zimbabwe by cutting base ticket prices to more than 30 destinations worldwide.

Economy Class fares have been reduced by between 5 and 25 percent to selected cities including Shanghai, Delhi, Jakarta, Beirut, Lagos, Rio de Janeiro, Manchester and Venice, while Business Class fares have been reduced by between 5 and 40 percent to destinations including Guangzhou, Chennai, Los Angeles Toronto, Phuket and Amsterdam.

"Travelling from Harare to Dubai and then onwards to many of the world's most popular and exciting cities is now even more affordable," said Emirates Country Manager for Zimbabwe Paulos Legesse. "Emirates' high quality service and facilities have always been a strong draw, and now we have made the option even more compelling with our value-for-money fares."

Economy Class fares from Harare to Muscat, via Dubai, start from US$883 including taxes, while passengers can travel for less than they may think: to Beirut for just US$1,128 and Dehli for US$1,165 including taxes.

Business Class fares start from US$2,617 from Harare to Beirut and are just US$3,785 to Guangzhou, while passengers from Harare to Manchester or Birmingham can take advantage of fares from US$3,275 in Business Class.

Value for money fares and the opportunity to stopover in Dubai for shopping and leisure are particular attractions for passengers, with the 96-hour visa in Dubai making the journey even smoother.

Travelling with Emirates' customers can experience award-winning service from its international cabin crew from more than 120 countries, gourmet cuisine and the airline's renowned ice inflight entertainment system, which offers passengers hundreds of audio and visual channels on demand.

Customers travelling with Emirates benefit from a generous baggage allowance of 30kg in Economy Class, 40kg in Business Class and 50kg in First Class. Passengers on Emirates flights can also stay in touch with SMS, email and phone connections in every seat.

Meanwhile, a stopover in Dubai is an experience in itself: as well as the world class shopping for which it is famed. Dubai has also become a global centre for sports events, concerts and an increasing number of cultural activities.

The city is also home to an impressive display of modern architecture, contrasting with its natural beaches and magnificent desert landscapes – a rich backdrop for visitors and photography enthusiasts.
