Dubai :  With its inaugural service into Boston just around the corner, Emirates, a global connector of people and places is offering Indian travellers an opportunity to visit one of the most historical cities in America with fares starting from INR 65,010 in Economy Class and INR 195,570 in Business Class.

Commencing operations from 10th March, Boston will be Emirates’ 8th route into the United States and 9th into North America.

The United States has always been a popular travel choice for Indian travellers, with the state of Massachusetts being home to one of the largest Indian communities in America. Known as the “Athens of America” due to its many educational facilities and large teaching and student population, Boston offers Indian students various opportunities to pursue their higher education in important fields such as Engineering, IT and mechanics.

“Regardless of why they’re travelling — leisure, education, business or to see loved ones – our new service to Boston is a benefit to passengers throughout India. Recognised for its tourism, academic and medical facilities, including Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, our Indian travellers have many reasons to explore this historic, multifaceted city,” said Essa Sulaiman Ahmad, Vice President India and Nepal.

“With these attractive starting fares, this is the perfect opportunity for our customers to also experience our award-winning product and service, while exploring this great destination,” he added.

Emirates current seven U.S gateways form part of a 134-destination passenger network, served by a fleet of more than 200 modern aircraft, including the 132 Boeing 777. From 10th March 2014, EK237 will depart Dubai at 09:45hrs and arrive in Boston at 15:15hrs. The return flight, EK 238, will take off from Boston at 22:55hrs and land in Dubai at 19:10hrs the next day. As part of an agreement with JetBlue, Emirates and JetBlue passengers are able to travel on each other’s flights and earn reciprocal miles.
