MEA slashes prices by half

Promotion seeks to bring back Arab visitors

In line with the Ministry of Tourism’s (MoT) ‘50 days of discounts for tourists’ campaign, Middle East Airlines (MEA) has officially launched the ‘Nextra super-low booking fares’ promotion. The period of the promotion begins on Tuesday (January 8) and extends until February 28.

Throughout this period prices of MEA tickets to Lebanon from all destinations will be reduced by 50 percent. The discounted package includes, in addition to the flight tickets, a three-night stay at a hotel with reduced rates, and the cost of transportation from and to the airport.

Arab visitors will benefit from the highest price reductions, in an attempt from the MoT to bring back discouraged Arab tourists. The lowest offer for most Arab visitors is priced at $415 and includes a three-night stay at a three-star hotel in Hamra. The highest package, which includes a three-night stay at a five-star hotel such as the Four Seasons, is priced at $1,205.

European tourists will also benefit from low fares. The lowest offer for visitors from Europe is priced at $590, and the highest is priced at $1,380.
