Booking Airfare and Hotel Separately

Airfare and Hotel Rates

Initially, I used Expedia to calculate pricing for the Dubai trip, booking the flights and hotel as a package deal.  You can find that pricing here.

The second method was to book the flights and hotels directly from their respective websites.  Turns out it's even cheaper than Expedia pricing.

Emirates roundtrip airfare is approx $1189 CDN per person
