An upgraded version of www.emirates.com, the flagship Emirates airline website, will now provide its surfers with a wide range of benefits and services, said The Gulf News.
The new upgraded web version has introduced better links for members of Skywards, the Emirates and Sri Lankan Airlines frequent flyer program, online bookings for customers in the UK as well as the UAE, simpler user navigation and a greater focus on Dubai, reported the daily.
Other advantages, according to the paper, include details of inflight products, stop-overs and seating and two virtual tours - one of Emirates' business class seats and another around the new lounges at Dubai International Airport. Mike Simon, Emirates director of Corporate Communications, was quoted by the paper as saying that "we expect online bookings to be particularly popular in the UK, where we now fly six times a day. Better coverage of the airport and of local events will interest business and leisure travellers to, from and through Dubai and help us improve service to customers.
"We are planning a host of other innovations including online newsletters, an Arabic language site and upgraded services for our Skywards frequent flyers” – Albawaba.com
