Emirates offer special student fares to UK

Emirates announced special fares to five points in UK for the benefit of Sri Lankan students.

The airline has also increased the baggage allowance by 10kg on Economy Class for students travelling to the UK. The other points to which special all-inclusive one-way fares apply are Glasgow, Manchester, Birmingham and Newcastle.

Special fares to the designated five points are valid for students who purchase tickets before October 1, and complete outbound travel between September 1 and October 15. In addition to special fares and increase in baggage allowance some students travelling to Manchester will also be able to experience travelling on the iconic Emirates A380 Airbus at no extra cost.

"Emirates is a preferred carrier among students travelling overseas because we offer a comprehensive package of good price, great product and convenient connections," said Emirates' Sales Manager in Sri Lanka Devika Ellepola. "Offering special student fares in Sri Lanka has now become an annual feature at Emirates."

Students who fly Emirates are also eligible to earn Skywards Miles from Emirates' frequent flyer programme.

These miles can be redeemed for free tickets, upgrades and other benefits.
