Canadians Countdown to World Cup Kick Off – Don’t miss out on the FIFA World Cup action – book with Emirates today
TORONTO — March — With 100 days to go until the whistle blows for the opening match of football’s premier tournament, Emirates’ FIFA World Cup 2010TM Travel Packages have never been more accessible and attractive.
As an Official Tour Operator, Emirates will bring the world to South Africa for the FIFA World CupTM. Through the award-winning airline’s network of over 100 destinations across 62 countries, Emirates is offering seamless travel to three of the host cities, Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban via our Dubai hub.
Currently on sale in 65 countries around the world, Emirates’ tailor-made FIFA World Cup Travel Packages are some of the most competitive on the market, offering flights, accommodation, ground transportation and match tickets.
Canadians can book a 2010 FIFA World CupTM package inclusive of match tickets by selecting the team they want to follow and a hotel in South Africa. Emirates will fly you to Dubai from Toronto aboard the Emirates A380, the word’s largest passenger aircraft, and then connect you to one of five daily flights into South Africa – Johannesburg, Cape Town or Durban. You’ll be transported to your hotel and provided transfers to and from the 2010 FIFA World CupTM stadiums.
“With Emirates’ packages, no matter where your team is playing be it Rustenburg or Cape Town or any of the other eight venues, you will be transported from your chosen hotel to the match and back again, even if it is all the way across South Africa,” said Richard Vaughan, Emirates’ Divisional Senior Vice President, Commercial Operations Worldwide.
“If you have purchased our ‘Follow Your Team’ package and your team qualifies through the Group Stages, we will make sure you do not miss out on any of their matches in the round of 16, no matter where it is held.”
“To support the football fans from around the world and ensure that they are able to be in South Africa, Emirates is offering some very special offers all of which can be found on emirates.com.”
In Canada, Emirates Travel Packages to the 2010 FIFA World CupTM South Africa will be exclusively distributed through MYESCAPADES.ca.
