Travel Counsellors has a great opportunity to be invited by partners in order to learn more about the properties, airlines etc.... and this one was a familiarization trip with Marhaba service, SkyTeam lounge, Cyprus airways and the City Of Dreams Mediterranean in Cyprus.

As we were flying with Cyprus airways from Terminal 1 from Dubai to Larnca, we used Marhaba Service for an easy fast track through immigration and security, we enjoyed a smooth and enjoyed a seamless experience and a hassle-free journey., it was really pleasant, from now I will really recommend it to my customers. Then direction SkyTeam Lounge, this high-end facility offers a wide range of quality amenities that make it the perfect place to relax and unwind before catching out flight.

Then we boarded on Cyprus airways, a new airbus A220, the business class has huge space, there is only 12 seats, I felt like I was in a private jet, the service and food were honestly really nice, it was lovely. After a very pleasant 4 hours flight, we landed in Larnaca, welcome to Cyprus! Time for our transfer to the hotel, we jumped on a brand new mercedes minibus and let us drove 50 minutes to our spectacular hotel the City Of Dreams Mediterranean in Limassol.
