The airfares to Bangkok start from €784.11 inclusive of taxes and are valid for passengers travelling in Economy Class with immediate effect up to 31 March 2010. Tickets for Bangkok will be purchased and issued on same day of booking. Following Emirates’ A380 service to Sydney last year, Emirates has stepped up its presence in Australia with the introduction of a third daily service to Melbourne.

Sydney and Melbourne are the cities with the largest Maltese communities. A second daily service to Brisbane was introduced last year escalating the airline’s weekly capacity to 63 flights serving the four Australian gateways, including Perth.

Last June, Emirates also launched daily services on A380 super jumbo to the holiday destination of Bangkok. The city reveals a magical oriental metropolis, with a splendid heritage of culture, art and architecture that thrives amongst the high-rises and new shopping centres.

Paul Fleri Soler, Emirates Manager, said: “With today’s special fares and Emirates’ convenient flight schedules, this could be an ideal time for Maltese to make their long awaited holiday to the natural beauty of Australia or the magical Bangkok.”

Emirates operates daily flights from Malta to Dubai via Larnaca, Cyprus. For the Maltese flying to Australia or the Far East, Dubai is the best and most convenient connection.
