UAE residents on waiting lists for UK flights as prices stay sky high – The National

Residents looking to fly to the UK from the UAE this autumn said limited availability of flights and rising airfares were forcing them to think twice about travelling.

Travellers told The National they were put on waiting lists for flights on Emirates this month as seats in some classes were fully booked.

Travel experts said rising airfares on the route were a culmination of passenger demand, fuel costs, and earlier imposed passenger restrictions at Heathrow Airport, which limited capacity for airlines.
