Dubai: Emirates has unveiled a new low-cost flight option for selected travellers, giving lower ticket prices in exchange for fewer included services, in an effort to attract more budget-conscious travellers.

The new pricing category enables passengers to enjoy Emirates' premium onboard experience at a cheaper cost, paying just for the services they require. Depending on the route and fare class, features like as free seat selection, checked luggage allowance, lounge access, chauffeur service, and flexible ticket changes may be limited or offered for an additional fee.

The airline stated that the program is intended to provide consumers with greater flexibility and a wider selection of pricing options. The lower fares are being offered on select routes and are aimed specifically at customers who are flying light or prepared to forego certain features in order to save money on their tickets.

The move is part of a rising trend among full-service airlines to provide more cheap pricing alternatives in order to compete with low-cost carriers and meet changing passenger preferences. According to industry observers, unbundled fares have grown in popularity as passengers seek lower pricing without losing the core flying experience.

Emirates advised passengers to carefully study the tariff conditions before purchasing, since the services provided may differ based on the route and ticket selected.
