Look For Diwali Offers on Dubai Packages

Did you know that the Titanic II, a replica of the celebrated namesake, will set sale on its maiden voyage from China to Dubai in 2018? Dubai Tourism tweeted this announcement on October 6, 2015. The original plan was to retrace the course of the RMS Titanic from Southampton to New York. This was reportedly changed because the owner company, Blue Star Line wishes to honor the business partnerships that it has forged in Dubai, says an article in Khaleej Times. This may be symptomatic of the economic scene of the world. While London and New York squabble for the position of 'financial capital of the world', Dubai is all set to take its rightful place in the financial world – at its very center.

Dubai – the Perfect Long Weekend Destination

Dubai is ideal for a leisurely long weekend, where you do nothing but pamper yourself with luxury.

The Myth tours could be as enchanting for adults as they are for children, not to mention the unexplainable thrill of snorkeling with sting rays in the aquariums! Another must visit if you are traveling with children is the Aquaventure Waterpark, also at the Atlantis on Palm Island. The rides there are one of the best than any water park and if you happen to be there on your birthday week, you can even enjoy a free of charge pass! Musafir.com offers Dubai packages that combine these attractions into a hassle free itinerary to make the best for your time.

Diwali in Dubai

Dubai packages will surely include a trip to the Grand Mosque and the Dubai creek. However, if you ask around in that area, you can be directed to a narrow lane between the two, which locally known as the Hindi lane. This is where you will find the only Hindu temples in the city. In the adjoining streets, you will also come across a Meena Bazaar, recreated by the nostalgic Indian expatriates. Unlike back home, you will find these streets aglow during the time of Diwali and the temples resounding with prayers of prosperity, as is customary during the festival. If you are worried about missing out on all the delicacies that are synonymous with the festival, be assured that worries are unfounded. You will find all that and more in Dubai's Meena Bazaar, reported the Vision Magazine in October, 2014.

While festivals are a time for family and friends alike, it might be a rewarding experience to travel to a new place and celebrate in a different way, for a change. Moreover, if you look early, you may find special Diwali offers on Dubai packages that will make it well worth your while to spend Diali in the 'City of Gold'.

Plan Wisely and Fly Cheap with the Best Air Ticket Offers

Are you planning to book air tickets ? Before you book, have you checked for discounts, coupon codes and attractive offers on flight tickets? If you generally buy the first ticket you get to your destination, you may want to drop the habit since you are depriving yourself the opportunity to cut back on expenditure and the ability to enhance your travel experience. Furthermore, habits such as waiting till the last minute to get a discount may be detrimental, since you may end up paying a lot more than you need to. Along with getting cheaper air tickets in advance, the smart passenger must try to book flight tickets and hotel accommodations together for more comprehensive deals and discounts.

Maximise Points on Air Fare

With the help of the reward system of frequent flyer programs, you can get several discounts and unique offers through your loyalty to a single airline. However, there is no hard and fast rule. Often, companies provide greater discounts to attract new passengers. Hence, you must not have blind faith in one airline alone, instead compare offers and prices and choose the one that is truly best for you.

Use Smartphone Applications

Since smartphones are becoming increasingly popular, you can avail additional benefits and discounts with the help of various mobile apps. Airline partners and travel agencies now have their own dedicated applications that focus on providing you the best deal. The flexible nature of these offers allows you to truly personalise your air fare. You can avail exciting offers in the form of a promo code discounts, cash backs, additional membership points or a better in-flight experience.

Know When to Redeem

If you are a member of an airline discount and scheme club, you may be relying on your reward points to get additional deals. However, it may not be a wise decision to use up all the points if it only means a modest amount saved. The more the number of points, the better will be the nature of your deal. Once you have sufficient amount of travel points, you can use them in a lump sum to unlock the best deals in air tickets. You may also use a chunk of the accumulated points to make them last longer, and still get a good discount. Partial usage increases the availability of offers across multiple air journeys.

Don't Rely on an Agent

Follow a do-it-yourself approach when it comes to striking the best deals in air tickets. A travel agent will not inform you of the hefty commission he/she is making, and may not get you the best price. Additionally, in case there is a change of plan, it is much more convenient to get cancellations and refunds online, rather than from a travel agent.
