UAE travel is about to never be the same. Emirates Airline and Etihad Airways are joining forces to allow you to fly into one city and fly out the other with just a single booking.

This will not only boost tourism, but also make the lives of people based in Abu Dhabi and Dubai easier, and much more.

Starting this summer, you can purchase a single ticket to fly into either Dubai or Abu Dhabi and enjoy a seamless return via the other airport. This gives you greater flexibility in planning your itineraries and ensures a more convenient travel experience.

Initially targeting visitors from select European and Chinese destinations, the “open jaw” arrangement allows for maximum exploration of Abu Dhabi, Dubai, or other emirates without the need to return to the arrival airport. Two world-class airlines have joined forces to facilitate travel between the vibrant cities, making your UAE adventure a breeze.

In addition to the open-jaw flights, you can opt for “multi-city flights” with the choice to travel from one city on both carriers’ networks and conveniently return to another point served by either Emirates or Etihad. This option gives you the freedom to discover even more of the UAE’s wonders on one trip.

The partnership between Emirates and Etihad is built to showcase the UAE for travelers from around the world. Tourism plays a vital role in the nation, and with these new flight options, experiencing the magic of the UAE has never been easier.

This isn’t the first time Emirates and Etihad have collaborated for the benefit of travelers. In recent years, they’ve worked together to improve aviation security and increase tourist numbers from key source markets.

So, pack your bags and get ready to experience the adventure of a lifetime with this innovative travel solution from Emirates and Etihad Airways. The enchanting world of the UAE awaits!
