Tourists flying on Emirates flights can get free accommodation and meals in a 5-star hotel in Dubai as part of the Dubai Connect program. “Emirates” announced this on its website.
Passengers staying in Dubai between 8 and 26 hours are entitled to free hotel accommodation regardless of cabin class. A free bus will take tourists from the airport to the hotel, including the five-star JW Marriott Marquis Hotel Dubai or Le Meridien Airport Hotel Dubai. The latter boasts 15 hectares of manicured gardens and azure outdoor pools, making it a luxurious retreat during a busy flight schedule.
The airline’s program includes transfer, accommodation, and meals, but tourists will still have to pay for mini-bar snacks and spa treatments on their own. Also, “Dubai Connect” covers visa costs so that a person can walk around the city and see the sights.
To use the app, after booking your flight, log in to your Emirates account, click on Manage, and select Dubai Connect. You can check in no later than 24 hours before departure. To qualify for a free stay, a traveler must be booked on the best connecting flight, so there is no point in choosing it much later.
Similar offers are TAP Air Portugal, Turkish Airlines, Qatar Airways, Etihad, IcelandAir, and Iberia, so you should definitely check yourself for compliance with the requirements of such programs before flying.
