HCM CITY (Biz Hub) — The United Arab Emirates-based airline Emirates has introduced a new online booking feature called ‘Hold My Fare.'

The feature, which allows customers the opportunity to hold their reservations and lock in competitive fares for up to 48 hours, is available for a nominal fee based on the booked route or destination and applies to all passengers, except infants.

To lock in the best fare and preferred flight, customers are asked to authorise the reservation, which will then be held for a fee charged on their credit cards. The fee is released back to customer's credit card if the tickets are paid for within 48 hours.

With 234 aircraft, including the wide-body A380 and Boeing 777, Emirates Airline currently flies to 146 destinations in 81 countries. It operates a non-stop, daily flight to HCM City from its international hub in Dubai. — VNS
