It’s said that a third of the world is just a four-hour flight from Dubai. Thanks to a travel-hungry local and expat population, along with being one of the world’s busiest transit hubs, Dubai’s flight path list encompasses a huge chunk of the world, with direct flights to six regions across the world. Dubai International Airport is the largest and busiest airport in Dubai, primarily served by Emirates, but is also the hub for Emirates’ low-cost carrier Flydubai. In modern comfort with TV screens and lie-flat beds on many business class cabins, travellers can find cheap flights from Dubai when booking with flydubai to 110 destinations in 53 countries. Now, the airline has announced the launch of an exciting new flight route.
New cheap flights from Dubai
A season doesn’t go by without flydubai adding a host of new flight routes from its Dubai hub. The airline currently flies to 110 destinations in 53 countries, spanning Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Europe, Central Asia and the Indian Subcontinent. The carrier has now announced it will launch a new direct flight to the Kenyan coastal city of Mombasa from 17 January 2024, becoming the first UAE airline to do so.
The new flight from Dubai International (DXB) to Moi International Airport (MBA) will operate four times a week, growing the airline’s network in Africa to 11 destinations in 10 countries. This includes Addis Ababa, Alexandria, Asmara, Dar es Salaam, Djibouti, Entebbe, Hargeisa, Juba, Mogadishu and Zanzibar. As the second largest city in Kenya, beachy Mombasa is known for its ancient Swahili architecture, slow-paced lifestyle, and its facinating trading history – with a charming Old Town, watersports and lovely resorts.
The flight will operate from Terminal 3 on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays from 17 January, with return economy class lite fares from AED,1600 and business class fares from AED4,200.
‘Africa is very important for flydubai and we are always exploring opportunities to better serve the market with reliable options to travel conveniently to Dubai and further afield onto the combined flydubai and Emirates network,’ said Sudhir Sreedharan, Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations (UAE, GCC, Africa and the Indian Subcontinent) at flydubai. ‘Mombasa will be another great destination on our network for passengers from the UAE, GCC and Europe seeking pristine beaches, wildlife parks and cultural experiences. We look forward to the start of our four-times-weekly service to Mombasa and to increasing the frequency to the market in the future.’
Mombasa is just the latest announcements in a slew of exciting new flight routes from the airline, with Flydubai launching a thrice-weekly direct flight route to Poznan in Poland on 29 October 2023. Poznań becomes flydubai’s third destination in Poland after Krakow and Warsaw.
Poznań is Poland’s fifth largest city in Poland and is known for its Renaissance-style buildings, old universities and fascinating cultural sites like the Historical Museum of Poznań, The Gothic and baroque Saints Peter and Paul Cathedral on Ostrów Tumski and its artisan dining scene.
Other new routes include to AlUla in Saudia Arabia, Italy’s fashion capital of Milan, Sardinia’s charming capital Cagliari, the Greek island of Corfu, Shymkent International Airport in Kazakhstan, Pattaya and Krabi in Thailand and St Petersburg in Russia.
