we are flying with emirates from gatwick to dubia in march does anyone know what terminal they fly from and does anyone know the best price hotel for an overnight stay and 18 nights parking

Hi, I've just flown back from Dubai with Emirates and they flew from Terminal 3.
not sure about hotels though...
Was really impressed with Emirates planes... very organised, very comfortable and the best in-flight entertainment I've come across. Food wasn't bad either...
Enjoy

We stayed at the Crowne Plaza Festival City , it was sensational . Wonderful views and luxury plus in every way. From there you can take an airconditoned walk to Festival City shopping for all you could need , top brands in clothing , Marks and Spencers if you want a bargain, many restaurants.

There are two Crowne Plaza hotels in Dubai so make sure you choose the Festival City one which is
15 minutes from the airport.

If you like jewellery or simply beautiful things take time to see the new Gold Souk with its' magnificent decor, midnight blue star studded curved ceilings . ( My son laughed and said it looked like Disneyland but I loved it ! )

A touch of luxury is always welcome.

hi sorry to sound stupid is terminal 3 north or south never flown from gatwick

thanks for your reply i was meaning a hotel here to stay overnight but thanks for all your info we are in port for 2 days so will defo go an see all you said - what was the prices like in dubia and did you need thier currency -thanks again

We flew out from Gatwick North terminal into Dubai Airport Terminal 3... it's thier new one (not sure how new) but very nice, clean and well organised.
You don't NEED local currency in Dubai but I found it helped with Taxi's etc as not everyone knew the euro conversion rate so it just saves a bit of hassle.

Hi Whisker...the last few times we've stayed at Gatwick we've got good prices at the Gatwick Travelodge (£10 on one occasion) and booked the car in at BCP (Charlwood Road, Lowfield heath).... which is about a mile away...and has the bus transfers to both terminals running every few minutes.

This is closer than most of the hotels with parking and can work out cheaper.

don't know where you are starting from, but using a coach or train and taxi can work out a lot cheaper than the parking fees.
have a fab time

We used Visa card for larger purchases and local currency for coffee and souvenirs.

Hope you have a wonderful time .
