Bangkok--19 Jun--Spark Communications
Convenient 5X a week service from Bangkok (via Dubai) affords vacationers and business travellers a great way to experience Italy’s “City of Water”.
We have all seen it portrayed in the movies, couples embracing each other as a gondolier sings Italian love songs while floating down the storied canals of Venice. On 1st July, Emirates makes it easier for Thai travellers to turn this dream into a reality when it launches its new service to Italy’s most romantic city. The service, initially five-times-a-week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, will increase to daily from 1st September 2007.
Emirates also offers daily flights to Rome and Milan with some of the world’s most technologically advanced aircraft, ensuring every passenger in every cabin enjoys the airlines award winning service, comfort, luxury and convenience.
Jeyhun Efendi, Area Manager for Thailand and Indochina said: “Our daily service to Rome and Milan from Bangkok is extremely popular. The addition of Venice to our list of fantastic Italian destinations will no doubt be warmly-welcomed by Thai vacationers and business people. With our convenient connections, award-winning in-flight services, and now 3rd great Italian destination to offer, we feel that flying Emirates to Italy will become the preferred choice of Thai travellers.”
Convenient Stop and Shop in Dubai - While transiting at the Dubai International Airport, travellers can avail some of the very best shopping at Dubai Duty Free. For those who wish to spend more time travelling around the city, Emirates’ Dubai Stopovers package is the perfect solution with prices starting from just US$69.
Water Limousine Airport Transfer Service: Emirates is about to become the world's only airline to offer a water limousine airport transfer service. This will coincide with the airline’s new service to Venice.
The Emirates’ Water Limousine will be available exclusively to Emirates' First and Business class passengers arriving in, and departing from Venice. Passengers will be transported in comfort aboard partially enclosed Riva-style boats from a dedicated pontoon next to Venice International Airport.
The short and scenic ride from the airport, on the Italian Mainland, to the Venetian archipelago avoids the sometimes heavily congested journey by road. The introduction of the Emirates’ Water Limousine also means passengers can reach hotels using one mode of transport rather than two. Normally, passengers would take a car from the airport and then require a public water taxi for the final leg of the journey.
The water limousine airport transfer service will initially be operated on a trial basis and reviewed after three months.
