Emirates Airlines' first class customers flying to Osaka, Japan, when services start October 1 can enjoy a complimentary two-night stay at the city's five-star Ritz-Carlton hotel, located in Nishi-Umeda, Osaka's business and shopping district.
Business class customers can stay for one night. The offer, on a single or double occupancy basis, is available from October 1 to December 9, 2002 and includes breakfast and all municipal taxes and service charges.
“Our new, non-stop services will connect Dubai, the commercial center of the Middle East, to Osaka, which is considered the commercial center of Japan, providing a vital link for the business community both in this region and Osaka,” said Ghaith Al-Ghaith, Emirates' director of commercial operations.
“Our offer, in partnership with the Ritz-Carlton, is an incentive to business people to travel in our premium classes and be rewarded with a stay in one of Osaka's top hotel properties,” he added. Customers can stay additional nights for $312 per room, per night, single or double occupancy, including breakfast and all tax and service charges.
The offer is available to first and business class customers flying on Emirates' flights, but does not include code-shared flights operated by other carriers. Skywards members can earn miles on their flights, plus the automatic bonus of 25 percent and 50 percent of total miles flown when flying in first and business class, respectively.
From October 1, Emirates will fly non-stop to Osaka every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, operating a Boeing 777-200 aircraft in a three class, first-business-economy configuration. — (menareport.com)
