And from Auckland or Christchurch to Dubai will cost only $1200 return economy class, or $4100 return business class.
Emirates flies from Auckland to Sydney, Melbourne and Christchurch, as well as Singapore and Dubai and beyond. From
Christchurch, the airline flies via Melbourne to Dubai and beyond ? the current three services a week out of
Christchurch will be doubled from August 15.
Various seasonality dates, flights and other conditions apply to the special fares.
Emirates' New Zealand manager Chris Lethbridge said: "We have had a very busy and successful first year operating into
New Zealand, with services expanding and two major sponsorships ? the Holden New Zealand Open golf and Emirates Team New
Zealand yachting syndicate. We think it is very much worth celebrating the support we have had in our first year by
giving the public the chance to experience Emirates' renowned quality service at very attractive fares."
