Krabi

Say hello to one of Thailand’s most picturesque islands! Flydubai kicked off operations to Krabi on 20 January. In 6 hours and 20 minutes, travelers may fly from Dubai to Krabi on a daily basis. Once there, they will find themselves in a place of unparalleled natural beauty, where untamed beaches and thick mangrove forests provide a stunning setting for adventure.

Flight routes to look forward to

Milan

Milan will be one of two new Italian air routes that flydubai will launch in 2023. Travelers will benefit from five weekly flights to the chic Italian city beginning on March 10, 2023, with daily flights throughout the summer. Milan is regarded as Italy’s commercial and financial hub because of its physical location. But Milan is much more than that. The culturally diverse city is known for its natural beauty, outstanding collection of museums and galleries, and beloved cafés and restaurants that serve up regional cuisine and friendly friendliness in equal measure. It also provides a charming blend of old and modern architecture.

Kuala Lumpur

Direct flights from Air Arabia to Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, have resumed. Three weekly flights will be available from Sharjah International Airport to Kuala Lumpur International Airport beginning on March 20, 2023. In June 2023, the frequency will rise to daily. If you’ve never been to the Malaysian capital, you should know that it has one of the best culinary scenes in the world, with mouthwatering street cuisine available everywhere. A vacation to Kuala Lumpur, however, wouldn’t be complete without taking in the city’s skyline from a gorgeous rooftop, enjoying a night out on the renowned Changkat Bukit Bintang Boulevard, or working your glutes at the Batu Caves. Economy seats on return flights start at AED 2,400.

Kolkata

Beginning on March 26, 2023, Etihad Airways will operate daily flights between Abu Dhabi and Kolkata, offering a total of seven nonstop flights each week to Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU). With 150 seats in economy and eight seats in business class, the flights will be flown by an Airbus A320.

Cagliari

Cagliari, the capital of Sardinia, is renowned for its exquisite historical sites and stunning beaches, making it the perfect destination if you’re considering summer travel but aren’t sure whether to go to the city or the beach. From June 22, 2023, you’ll be able to take a flight to this exquisitely lovely island three times every week.

Corfu, Greece

The Greek island of Corfu has gained popularity for its breathtaking scenery, extensive multi-cultural heritage, pristine waters, and eclectic Old Town. When it debuts in the summer, it will become the newest location on flydubai’s strong array of airline routes from Dubai to Greece. A biweekly flight from DXB to Corfu will start operating on June 24, 2023, with round-trip prices starting at AED 2,600.

Copenhagen

Considering a pleasant city getaway this fall? Why not think about Copenhagen, where Etihad will begin offering flights on October 1? The best-in-class Boeing 787 Dreamliner transports passengers to one of Scandinavia’s most well-liked tourist destinations four times every week. Europe’s coziest capital is known for its vibrant canals, café scene, and attractions like Tivoli Gardens, the oldest amusement park in the world.
