Discount Flights from San Francisco to Asia and Africa with Emirates

I recently wrote about the relatively cheap flights to Tanzania from San Francisco on Emirates. As it turns out, this flight is just one of many that will take you to the many corners of Asia and Africa from San Francisco for a very reasonable price.

This flight sale includes discounted flights to any of these cities, among others:

Ahmedabad (AMD) $1,085
Beirut (BEY) $1,145
Colombo (CMB) $1,255
Dhaka (DAC) $1,280
Dubai (DXB) $1,130
Hyderabad (HYD) $1,110
Islamabad (ISB) $1,270
Johannesburg (JNB) $1,240

Most of the flights fly direct from SFO to Dubai, have a layover of anywhere from 4-14 hours, then fly direct from Dubai to your destination of choice. Total flight time, which varies widely depending on your destination, is then about 30 hours

When all is said and done, travel time is usually about 30 hours, but you end up in an exotic location at a cost of under $1500 roundtrip including all taxes and fees.

If you’re looking for a little adventure, I’d highly suggest doing a couple flight searches on the US version of the Emirates website here. You can also research details of their winter fare sale to destinations in Asia and Africa here.

Bon Voyage. I wish I had two weeks to take off to take advantage of these deals myself.
