Emirates to offer complimentary hotel accommodation and free tourist visas for travellers to Dubai

A visit to Dubai is a must, being named one of the world’s best cities for travellers to visit in 2020 by Lonely Planet. Known for its unique combination of iconic attractions, entertainment destinations, outdoor and cultural offerings, as well as picturesque skylines and architecture, Dubai is a traveller’s paradise and there’s no better time to visit than now.

In the promotion which runs from 2 - 15 December 2019, return fares to Dubai start at VND 10,469,000 in Economy Class and at VND 32,569,000 in Business Class and are valid for travel between 5 - 27 December 2019 and 3 January - 31 May 2020. Economy Class passengers who book flights within the promotional period can enjoy two nights’ accommodation at either Rove at the Park or Rove Healthcare City; while First Class and Business Class passengers who book flights during the same period can enjoy two nights’ accommodation at either the Address Sky View or Address Dubai Mall.

When booking the flight tickets on emirates.com/vn, travellers simply need to enter the promotional code, FEDUBAI, before making payment. The complimentary hotel stay will then be booked and confirmed. The hotel offer is on a room-only and single or double-occupancy basis, with up to one child under 12 years old sharing the same room for Economy Class travel and up to two children under 12 years for Business Class or First Class bookings. The offer includes taxes and is subject to availability.

To sweeten the deal, Emirates will also be sponsoring the cost of a 30-Day Dubai Tourist Visa for travellers from Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan and Vietnam. A completed visa application, along with mandatory documents such as a passport copy and passport photo, will need to be submitted to a local Emirates Retail Office at ekvietnam@emirates.com no later than 17 December 2019. Emirates flight tickets must also be issued prior to applying for the visa.

Emirates passengers will also be able to enjoy 10 kg of free extra baggage allowance when travelling to Dubai during the promotional period, alleviating the stress of packing and leaving more room for shopping. With the Dubai Shopping Festival 2020 happening from 26 December 2019 until 1 February 2020, travellers can now worry less and shop more with the additional baggage allowance on their return journey.

What’s more is that visitors can stretch their travel budget with My Emirates Pass - a seasonal pass that turns an Emirates boarding pass into an exclusive membership package - allowing customers to redeem discounts and special benefits in over 500 locations across the UAE. Travellers flying to and through Dubai between 1 January and 31 March 2020 can avail the offer and enjoy up to 30% off on retail outlets and up to 50% off on leisure activities by simply presenting their boarding pass and a valid form of identification.
