Flash Sales And Offers from Air France And Cathay Pacific
Air France
Fares to Dubai are as low as $849 from Houston, $899 from New York, and $999 from Los Angeles.
The fine print: Round-trip fares including taxes and carrier surcharge and applicable fees. Fares are valid for travel between November 1 through December 12, 2014 and January 10 through March 31, 2015. Fares can only be purchased on October 22, 2014 and there is a 7 day advance purchase.
Air France is a little later to the party here, but better late than never. Fare are up to 70% off, with sample city combinations shown below:
The fine print: Fares are round-trip and include taxes, carrier surcharge and applicable service fees. The fares are valid for travel between November 22 through November 28, 2014 and can be purchased 28 days in advance. Fares are also valid for travel between December 15, 2014 through January 3, 2015 and can be purchased 60 days in advance. Tickets must be purchased before October 24, 2014 11:59PM EDT. A 3 day minimum stay is required and a maximum of 10 days stay is permitted.
I say that Air France is late to the party, since there were some fantastic Business Class fares available for winter holiday travel earlier this month. In some cases they are still around, and you can certainly find better prices to select European destinations than the ones above.
