Holiday destinations include the Maldives…

For those of you with a healthy appetite for wanderlust, you’ve likely already eyed up the Eid and summer vacations for an opportunity to drop your next pin in the map.

The problem is, with holidays representing peak travel times — prices are normally at a premium. So when a self-procclaimed ‘ultra low-cost’ airline announces a sale, it’s at least worth a look right?

Route canals

The sale began at midnight last night (00:01 March 29) and will end tonight at 11:59pm (March 29, 2023) and includes up to 20 per cent discount on thousands of seats — with prices stripped down to just Dhs179. That’s not a typo, that’s the full price and very likely the same cost as your taxi to the airport.

The sale fares apply to such popular routes to The Maldives, Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan), Santorini (Greece) and Medina (Saudi Arabia).
