Several airlines have been adapting to the current global travel situation by offering flexible cancellations and unlimited rebooking to entice the public to start travelling again. Emirates has been one of the most generous if not the most generous airline during the time of this Covid-19 pandemic.
The Dubai based airline goes the extra mile as they will now pay for your stay at the JW Marriott Maquis in Dubai in addition to the only airline in the world to offer a free multi-risk travel insurance which covers Covid-19. To learn more about Emirates free multi-risk travel insurance click here.
Now let's get to the details of that free hotel stay. The JW Marriott Marquis is a 5-star property of Marriott International, which to my understanding is a slight notch above the regular JW Marriott brand boasting more than 1,500 guest rooms, several restaurants and expansive spaces.
The Deal
1 free night with a return economy class ticket to Dubai
2 free nights with a return business or first class ticket to Dubai + a complimentary room upgrade
Receive an extra piece of baggage and 10kgs of baggage (For North and South America and Africa only)
Book by December 23 2020 and travel from December 6 2020 until February 28 2021.
Is it worth it?
In normal circumstances the cheapest room at the JW Marriott Marquis Dubai would be around ₱10,000, but since nothing has been normal in 2020 and hotels have been struggling to fill rooms, you can book a room at around ₱6,800 including taxes.
An Emirates flight from Manila for January or February should cost around ₱20,000 - ₱25,000 on economy and around ₱56,000 for business class. The prices aren't crazy cheap but they are cheaper than pre-Covid prices.
In the end it's a pretty sweet deal. The fact that you'll be flying one of the best airlines in the world especially in terms of in-flight product is way worth the price. Then you add the free multi-risk travel insurance for some peace of mind and the free hotel night. I mean c'mon it's a tough time in the world right now financially, who do you know would give you a free night stay at a JW Marriott? Probably nobody right?
