Good news for those of you looking for an unexpected late-Spring getaway — the folks over at Dubai-based low-cost airline FlyDubai are about to launch service between Dubai and Kabul!
Indeed, beginning on May 17, FlyDubai will offer five-times weekly service between to two cities — which will likely be filled with the military, NGO and reconstruction types pouring into Afghanistan and trying to keep it together.
This is the first international carrier to serve Afghanistan with scheduled air flights — which means that Kabul is finally re-emerging on the global transport scene.
Launch fare are just $197 each way and the flights are on comfy, new Boeing 737s.
It all sounds oh-so tempting — but we’re gonna opt for FlyDubai’s other new city destination, the Turkish town of Istanbul!
