While most European airlines have still suspended their flights to Dubai (and elsewhere in the Middle East), Dubai is being served more or less normally by Asian carriers, albeit presumably often at lower load factors than usual.

At least, this is how the current offer from SriLankan could be understood, which offers its FlySmiLes members five times the miles for flights to Dubai, booked by September 25 and completed by November 30.

But we do not mean to insinuate that the FlySmiLes program is soooo attractive that one should now fly from Europe to Dubai via Colombo. However, if you are travelling from South India, it might be worth considering!
