GENIUS! Emirates and Etihad announce an interline expansion meaning you can fly into Abu Dhabi or Dubai with a seamless return from the other airport with a single ticket.

Travellers will have further freedom and flexibility to roam the UAE thanks to the unique offering after Emirates Airline and Etihad Airways signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand their interline agreement.

The announcement notes this is a first of its kind agreement between the two UAE carriers and it aims to capitalise on opportunities to boost tourism to the UAE from key source markets by enabling visitors to experience more than one destination in a single itinerary.

When will it roll out?

This summer, customers of each airline will be able to purchase a single ticket to fly into either Dubai or Abu Dhabi, with a seamless return via the other airport. The new agreement also provides travellers planning to explore the UAE with the flexibility of one-stop ticketing for their full journey and convenient baggage check-in.

The arrangement will allow visitors to cover as much ground as possible when exploring Abu Dhabi, Dubai or any other emirate, saving time by removing the need to fly home via their arrival airport.

Customers travelling into the UAE also have the option of ‘multi-city flights’, with the choice to travel from one city on both carriers’ networks, and conveniently returning to another point served by either Emirates or Etihad.

People are full of praise for the game-changing move!
