Has anyone booked a flight to Windhoek on Emirates?

I just looked it up. They were quoting approximately $26,000 per ticket for business class. About $45,000 per ticket for first class.

Something must be wrong.

Interesting, I saw that as well when searching flights for a client in Dallas who wanted to use Emirates. He wound up booking on Qatar Air out of Atlanta. Not sure why Emirates is so freaking expensive.

I also looked at KLM - their business class is very reasonable. But if you're traveling with firearms it's a little more of a PIA.

Just checked round trip Orlando/Karachi. $4,800.

Something seems bad wrong .

Times must be tough in the UAE... Or maybe Saeed is just car shopping...

Just checked, Dubai Windhoek FC is just over $7000 return!!??

We aren't buying near as much oil......Emirates government subsidy might have gotten cut!

I can buy business on Quatar for about $3,500’each.

I bought round trip Emirates ticket, Los Angeles to Johannesburg, business class in November for 4,000.

Man, those prices seem to be well worth it. I’ve never flown that carrier, but BC at that price definitely seems better than my SAA fun!

Has to be an error.

I think Emirates does not fly there, that might be the reason the flight is so expensive. But Qatar does.

It’s just a bad pricing algo. Doubt Emirates has a code share or off take deal with anyone from South Africa. It’s pricing software spits out a $$ amount for a ticket they never sell.

Actually Emirates does code share with South Africa Air. Therefore, I believe we know where the problem lies...
