SOME PEOPLE MIGHT be able to spin a globe, point to a destination at random and fly there without thinking too much about it.
But if you really want to make the most of your precious holiday time, you want to invest some thought into which location is perfect for you. Luckily, Emirates has you covered no matter where you want to go. Flying to over 140 destinations globally, including 83 out of Dublin Airport alone, Emirates is going wherever you are. Not only that, but by choosing Emirates you’ll be flying in luxury — on board you can stretch your legs with extra space, dine on gourmet meals, enjoy 6,500 different titles on inflight entertainment, and experience world-class customer service.
But before all of that, you need to decide where we’re going. That’s why we’re using our Slider Tool to help you decide where to go on your next adventure. Simply move the slider
The best part is that you’ll also be able to see where your answer fits along with everyone else’s, so you’ll be able to see how your holiday preferences compare with the average holidaymaker.

If you’re looking for a holiday that keeps you on your feet and gives you the chance to meet exotic wildlife, you could consider using Emirates to fly somewhere like Australia — where the opportunity to dive and swim with colourful sea-life near coral reefs goes hand in hand with the unique chance to explore the wild outback and familiarise yourself with one of the world’s most unusual and exciting landscapes.

If you love to boogie, then picking a holiday destination with a bustling nightlife is probably essential for you.

Not all destinations are the same when it comes to late night activity, and if you want to stay out late for a night of dancing and meeting new people then you need to choose wisely.

If you’re looking for a beach destination there is really no limit to where Emirates can take you. Whether you’re looking for the luxurious resort beaches of Seychelles or Maldives, or the jungle-adjacent beaches of Sri Lanka, the world is your oyster this year.

How important is sight-seeing to you?
Votes
Travelling the world is all about new experiences and seeing things you'd never get the chance to see in your own land. Before setting off on your next adventure, you should think about how much time you want to spend taking in the wonders of your destination.
If sightseeing is a priority for you on your next trip, maybe you should consider popular Emirates destinations such as Thailand or Vietnam. Southeast Asia is one of the world’s most popular destinations for those seeking tranquility, good food, and the chance to see some of the world’s most magnificent temples and structures. The most-visited temple in Bangkok is Wat Phra Kaew, also known as the Temple of the Emerald Buddha. If you want to experience spirituality and beauty in its purest form, you should check out how to get to Thailand with Emirates.
