Whilst we mainly use only those scheduled airlines (listed below), which offer more convenience and comfort, we also use offer some very good charter airlines should you so prefer.

* Certain airports, including Dubai impose restrictions on carriage of baggage whereby no single piece of baggage may exceed 32 kgs (70 lbs) in weight. This however, does not affect the overall free checked baggage allowance per passenger. These restrictions enforced by either airport authorities or ground handling companies aid in preventing injuries and ensure the safety of baggage handlers. |
