Good news! Emirates to restart Dubai-Budapest flight in October!

The Dubai-based airline will restart its flight two days a week – on Wednesdays and Saturdays – between the two cities.

Thanks to the reopening of Dubai, Hungarian passengers can travel to Dubai again for business or leisure.

From 25th October, the flights will be operating according to the winter schedule:

The flight can be booked for Economy and Business classes. Furthermore, Emirates provides flexible ticket booking conditions for its Hungarian passengers. For all Emirates tickets purchased before 31st March 2021, it is possible to rebook, or for tickets purchased but not used, the airline will provide an extension of the validity of the tickets for an additional two years, or unused tickets can be utilised as travel coupons.

The Middle East metropolis was the first in the world to be chosen as a “Safe Destination”, recommended by the World Tourism Organisation, thanks to the measures taken to ensure the health and safety of visitors.

Accordingly, the Dubai-based airline company complies with all hygiene requirements in relation to the pandemic:

• Boarding from Budapest can only be realised with a valid, printed, negative PCR test in English or Arabic. In the case of other departure locations, local regulations apply.
• Passengers are provided with a hygiene kit upon boarding and are required to wear a mask throughout the flight and at the airports.
• Aircraft are regularly disinfected with a special antiviral chemical.
• The clean air in the cabin is ensured by the so-called HEPA system, which filters out 99.9 per cent of viruses and fungi, so the air on the plane is completely changed every 2-3 minutes while travelling.
• In addition to their uniforms, flight attendants shall wear protective equipment manufactured for this purpose, and the on-board menu shall be served in hygienic packaging.
• At Dubai Airport, non-contact body temperature measurements are performed, and check-in is completely non-contact.

As Hungarian news portal Turizmus.com reports, Emirates covers the healthcare costs of its Hungarian passengers up to HUF 51 million (~EUR 141,460 ) and the hotel costs related to quarantine up to HUF 34,000 (~EUR 94) per day if they are diagnosed with COVID-19 infection during their trip.

Reimbursement – which is automatically included with all Emirates flights purchased – is valid for 31 days from the date of travel until 31st December 2020, regardless of cabin class and destination.

Emirates will restart four more European flights in early November: Bologna, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, and Lyon, thanks to which 31 cities and 99 destinations globally will be available in the airline’s international network.
