Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Every so often, Jack Sheldon from Jack’s Flight Club selects a flight deal from the UK for Independent readers that you can’t afford to miss. This week: return flights to Dubai for £291.
Although there’s a lot of competition on routes to Dubai from London, getting a good price to fly from regional airports is typically a lot tougher.
That isn't the case right now though – Emirates is having a rare sale on its routes to Dubai, from airports in Scotland, northern England and the Midlands.
How to book
Head to Google Flights and enter your preferred departure airport along with Dubai as the destination. You may want to add a “Emirates” filter to the airlines to help find the dates included in this deal.
Use Google Flights’ handy calendar tool to help you highlight the best travel dates (they’ll show up in green).
You can book directly with the airline for slighly more flexibility to make changes later (ie lower date/time change fees) or, to save an additional £30 or so, head over to Skyscanner, re-enter your itinerary, and book with the online travel agent offering the lowest fares.

Grabbing a meal in Dubai is notoriously expensive. If you're after something both cheap and delicious, check out the Al Souq Al Kabeer neighbourhood in the old town for some South Asian restaurants. Pak Liyari does a top no-frills biryani.
