Dubai: €983 Lufthansa & Swiss Business Class from Amsterdam

Star Alliance carriers Swiss and Lufthansa are currently offering business class flights from Amsterdam to Dubai starting at €983. There’s availability at this price within the first six months of 2023, except March and April. Lounge access and priority services are included in this offer. A change of planes in Frankfurt or Zurich is necessary in both directions.

Our availability shows all possible round trips at the lowest fare for travel durations up to 28 days. You can select an out- and inbound flight and will be forwarded to Lufthansa’s or Swiss’ website with pre-selected flight dates.

Please note that from April 2 to May 2, 2022, the United Arab Emirates celebrate the fasting month of Ramadan. During this time, public services in Dubai are severely limited.

Both Lufthansa and Swiss use Airbus A330-300 aircraft on the flights between Europe and the United Arab Emirates.

Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?

More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:

Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.

If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.

This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.

Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.

This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.

Mileage

Both airlines issue these tickets in booking class P. A trip with Swiss via Zurich may pay off more for most Star Alliance frequent flyers:
