Gold Medal, the flagship B2B brand of dnata Travel Group UK, has announced that travel agents can book holidays to Dubai and New York online. This newly extended capability allows bookings to be made through agents until December 2026.

The firm has introduced guaranteed pricing for earlier bookings, building confidence among agents whose clients may wish to plan far ahead.

In January, it was also confirmed that agents could book travel packages to Orlando through Gold Medal until March 2027. Positive feedback has been noted from travel agents eager to secure bookings well ahead of time.

Adrian James, Product & Commercial Director, stated, “Following the success of launching ODR for Florida, we have had more requests for other destinations. Dubai and New York are top sellers for Gold Medal and two destinations that we know customers are keen to book more than 11 months in advance. We are excited to see these bookings start to come in and the potential to open up even more areas of the world.”

Travel agents can facilitate bookings to Dubai from various UK cities, including London, Manchester, Birmingham, or Edinburgh, with Emirates. Bookings for New York can be done departing from London with Virgin or from Manchester with Aer Lingus.
