Emirates announces new flights to Madrid

Airline Emirates has announced it is to fly from Bangkok to Madrid, the fourth new travelling destination it has added to its schedule this year.Cheap flights customers will now be able to jet off from the Thai city to the Spanish capital, which could interest those planning a round the world trip or gap year holiday.

The daily service will first fly travellers from Bangkok to Dubai and then flyers will be able to stopover in the emirate or head straight to Europe. Dubai is certainly a place worth seeing and a stopover here could give tourists the chance to stay in some of its most prestigious hotels, like the Burj Al Arab, famously shaped like a ship’s sail.

Emirates has already announced new flight schedules to Tokyo, Prague and Amsterdam this year. The Thai airline also offers 28 flights a week to Dubai and seven each week to Sydney.
