flydubai does the double with flights to Istanbul and Assiut
Dubai, April 12, 2010 (WAM)- Just two weeks after launching GCC routes Muscat and Kuwait City, flydubai, Dubai's first low cost airline, has announced further two routes - Assiut in Egypt and Istanbul, Turkey - to bring the airline's network to 15 destinations.
Priced from just Dh350, flights to Assiut, the largest town in Upper Egypt, are three times per week and start on Monday, May 24. Travellers will be able to visit Istanbul, European Capital of Culture 2010, with flydubai's uncomplicated, low fare service for as little as Dh450 from Thursday, June 17. Flights to Istanbul will be five times per week.
flydubai's new service to Istanbul will allow even more travellers from the Gulf to enjoy the stimulating diversity of Turkey's most famous city, and it will contribute to the growing trade relationship between Turkey and the UAE, valued at around US$9 billion.
The flydubai model is simple, with customers paying only for the services they want to receive. The ticket price includes all taxes and one piece of hand baggage, weighing up to 10kg, per passenger.
Passengers have the option to purchase checked-in baggage in advance at just Dh60 for the first piece and Dh150 for the second, weighing up to 32kgs, subject to availability. Checked baggage at the airport is also strictly subject to availability and passengers are advised to book online early to secure the space, as only pre-purchased baggage can be guaranteed.
