Sri Lanka removed from Red List: Emirates facilitates travel to UK with special fares

Emirates is joining Sri Lankans to celebrate the easing of travel restrictions by the British government with the launch of special fares to five destinations in the United Kingdom.

Going on sale from 4th October, these special fares will be valid for travel to London, Birmingham, Manchester, Newcastle and Glasgow, up to 31st March 2022, provided tickets are booked before 17th October.

Applicable to all classes of travel, these special all-inclusive fares start at US$ 821 (Rs 164,200 at current rates of exchange) on Economy Class, and US$ 2,369 (approximately Rs 473,800) on Business Class the award-winning airline said. All fares in Rupees are subject to the rate of exchange on the day of purchase. Emirates flights can be booked on emirates.com, via travel agents or the Emirates Sales Office.

These special fares represent an excellent opportunity for students travelling for higher education, business executives resuming international travel and Sri Lankans planning to visit family and friends in the UK to save on their air tickets by booking early.

Travel during the period covered by the special fares also enables travellers to take a break in Dubai of up to 21 days en-route to enjoy what Dubai has to offer, including a visit to the EXPO 2020. Emirates customers visiting and travelling through Dubai anytime during this mega global event, are eligible to receive a free Emirates Expo Day Pass for every flight ticket booked with the airline.
