This nightspot beloved by celebrities is coming to Dubai…
The Dubai-based airline has announced it will add new cities in Greece and Jordan to its network from June, bringing its total number of destinations on offer to 102 (spread across 46 countries).
Flydubai will start thrice-weekly flights to Thessaloniki from June 15, and four weekly flights to Aqaba from June 16, becoming the UAE’s first airline to fly to both destinations.
The former is the second-largest city in Greece, home more than 1 million residents as well as a bustling annual calendar of festivals and events.
The port city, considered to be Greece’s cultural capital, can be reached via a five-and-a-half-hour flight and also boasts many UNESCO’s World Heritage sites.
Aqaba, also a coastal city, is Jordan’s major seaport—but it’s also got plenty of R&R options for tourists.
“We are looking forward to the start of flydubai’s flights to Aqaba and Thessaloniki. Both cities are major economic, industrial, commercial centres and very popular leisure destinations especially in the summer,” said Jeyhun Efendi, flydubai’s senior vice-president commercial.
