“Online booking is by far the most convenient method of purchasing air travel, and booking with Emirates online has additional advantages for passengers,” said Emirates’ Area Manager for Sri Lanka and Maldives Chandana de Silva.
“We hope that this promotion will help generate more awareness about the benefits of online booking while rewarding passengers in Sri Lanka who have booked via our website,” de Silva added. Emirates’ online booking facility allows passengers to make bookings at any time and from anywhere. Besides the convenience, there are also special on-line fares and periodic offers and opportunities to earn extra Skywards Miles by booking online. Additionally, a unique feature called ‘Miles Accelerator’ offers extra miles on specific routes on a month-to-month basis. As a result of these benefits, passengers who make use of the Emirates website can save on air travel purchases. They can also purchase additional baggage allowance at a 20% discount by making payment by credit cards, saving both money and time spent at check-in counters at the airport.
The Emirates website also offers accommodation and car rental bookings as part of the online flight booking process, via the ‘Manage a Booking’ tool or as standalone reservations through the ‘Book a Hotel/Car’ tab, with the latter available even to those who do not book air travel with Emirates. A choice of more than 23,000 hotels in approximately 3,200 cities in 130 countries is available to those who book hotel accommodation via www.emirates.com/lk.
Emirates customers can also purchase tickets on Emirates’ partner airlines through the website, when they are travelling to points beyond Emirates’ on-line destinations.
