Impressive Emirates business class sale from Sweden

Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.

Emirates sent me details of some aggressive sale fares that are available from Stockholm. The First and business class fares must be booked before the 18th July for travel by 10th December. Economy tickets are also valid from 11 January to 23 February 2015.

To save me retyping a huge table, here is a screenshot of the email they sent me:

The exchange rate to the Kroner is currently 11.6.

This means – in Emirates business class – you get some fantastic deals:

Dubai – £1,371

Bangkok – £1,426

The Maldives – £1,561

Cape Town – £1,703

Emirates runs a Boeing 777-300ER to Stockholm, so you won’t get to experience the on-board bar. The business class seats to Dubai are also angled lie flat and NOT fully flat. First Class has fully flat seats but not private suites.
