Emirates will bring Australia's largest state closer to the Middle East, Africa and Europe, when its flight to Perth lifts off from Dubai International Airport this week. The service is the first-ever non-stop flight between the Gulf and Australia. The flights bring the total number of points on the Emirates network to 59 in 41 countries.
Fresh produce flown from Western Australia one day can be in Dubai shops the next; friends and relatives from Europe have fast, one-stop flights to their families, tourists can enjoy Australia's sunniest city and have 2.5 million square kilometers of scenery to explore.
Emirates Holidays, the Gulf's top tour operator, has created a wide range of new vacations to showcase this new shortcut to the Sunshine City on Australia's west coast, offering breaks at the five-star Burswood Resort Casino/Spa and Hyatt Regency hotels, as well as the four-star Novotel Langley and Grand Chancellor Hotels.
Proving the demand for the new service, the first flights are fully-booked. Connecting passengers on the inaugural flight include those from the United Kingdom (UK), Germany, France, Switzerland, Kenya and Lebanon plus Gulf countries such as Qatar and Kuwait. — (menareport.com)
