Emirates announces companion fare offer to Cyprus

Passengers booking a flight to Cyprus between the 1st of November 2012 and the 31st of January 2013 will get a complimentary second ticket (excluding taxes) for a companion.

The Malta-Cyprus-Malta full fare in Economy Class starts at €290, (including taxes), and the companion passenger pays only for the taxes and fuel charge which amounts to €68.  The offer is valid for two passengers travelling together and confirmed on same booking. The outbound travel period is from 1 November 2012 until 31 May 2013; terms and conditions apply.

Whether one travels to Cyprus for business or for a holiday, there is plenty to discover and an amazing range of things to see and do. Apart from its beach resorts, there are forests and mountains, deep valleys and flat fertile plains full of citrus groves and vineyards, intriguing archaeological sites, and numerous quaint villages to discover.

The island is dominated by the Troodos Mountains, whose pine and oak covered slopes are often covered in snow during winter. The beautiful landscapes in the mountains and the surrounding villages are an attraction and a unique feature for visitors.

Moreover, most Cypriots speak English and drive on the left hand side of the road, and it is the same as in Malta.  Visitors can hire a car, explore the beautiful island at leisure, and visit own typical tavernas offering a vast selection of mezes. 

Paul Fleri Soler, Manager for Malta, Emirates Airline, said: "The Companion Fare is a great opportunity for our clients to enjoy a relaxing break in Cyprus and is one of the best value-for-money offers from Emirates.  The offer also coincides with the end of year festive holiday season and Easter time, when many Maltese go on holiday."
