Emirates Launches Routes from Dubai to Nice & Lyon

Background

Emirates (EK) recently began flights from its hub in Dubai (DXB) to two popular summer destinations in France – Lyon and Nice. The airline will offer both options four times per week in conjunction with the easing of entry requirement for visitors to France.

Both routes will be serviced by Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, while the airline will continue to use its Airbus A380 planes for flights to and from Paris.

Passengers of Emirates, if UAE citizens, can enter France without the need to quarantine if they are fully vaccinated and can produce a negative COVID-19 PCR-RT test result taken no more than 72 hours before departure.

As an alternative, EK will also accept a Rapid Antigen test if taken within 48 hours of departure.
