Gulf Air has revealed plans to initiate flights from Bahrain to Munich starting in July 2024. The airline aims to offer four weekly flights on this route, utilizing its Airbus 321neo aircraft to ensure seamless connectivity between Bahrain International Airport and Munich International Airport. This strategic move underscores Gulf Air's dedication to expanding its European network, catering to the rising demand for both leisure and business travel. Alongside its new Munich route, the airline is bolstering its presence across Europe with seasonal flights to destinations such as Nice, Geneva, Malaga, and Bodrum. With the addition of Munich, Gulf Air's operations in Germany will encompass a total of 11 weekly flights, complementing its existing daily services to Frankfurt. This expansion builds upon Gulf Air's longstanding history in the region, dating back to 1986 when it launched its inaugural flight from Bahrain to Frankfurt. #aviation #airlines #germany #dubai

What if I told you that you could fly in business or first class without breaking the bank? This, my friends, is the beauty of miles and points. Let's use Qsuites (a Daily Drop favorite) as an example. Qsuites are simply the best business-class seats in the sky. To fly in Qsuites from North America to the Middle East, you would need to spend at least 70,000 Avios or American Airlines miles. While that's not a super bad price, you could fly these seats without using ALL of your points. For example, you could fly on one of Qatar’s shorter Qsuites routes from Doha to Mumbai for just 15,000 Alaska miles (thanks to their newly revamped award chart). But maybe you have suuuuper nice taste and want to fly Emirates first class? First of all, major respect. Second of all, here's how you might go about that: Emirates has a fifth-freedom flight between Bangkok and Hong Kong, and they fly it every single day with an Airbus A380 (the plane with the shower). Amazingly, you can book a round-trip ticket, directly with Emirates, on this route for less than $900 USD… in first-class… any day of the year. Impressed yet? Read more from today's newsletter about how to score these high-class seats for very few points (with some Virgin Atlantic strategies sprinkled in there, as well).

Emirates, based in Dubai, has revealed the initial lineup of destinations to be served by its A350 aircraft, set to commence operations in September 2024.

The airline anticipates welcoming 10 new A350s into its fleet by March 31, 2025, with plans to introduce this latest aircraft type to 9 destinations in the near future. These initial 10 Emirates A350 aircraft are configured to offer three distinct cabin classes. This includes 32 next-generation Business Class seats, 21 seats in Premium Economy, and 259 generously spaced Economy Class seats. With the introduction of the first Emirates A350s, passengers will have increased opportunities to experience the airline's acclaimed Premium Economy product and explore its cutting-edge Business Class cabins. This will be especially notable on short and medium-haul routes spanning the Middle East, GCC, West Asia, and Europe. #Emirates #Airline #Destination
