How much are you willing to pay to freeze an airfare until you can finalize your travel plans? While searching for flights on United recently, I came across an add-on option I had never seen before: a fare lock. On this particular itinerary, United offered an option to lock in a fare for 72 hours at $9.99 or $14.99 for one week. I chose not to buy the ticket or pay for fare lock and a week later, the price on the same itinerary had gone up and the fare lock option disappeared.
Although Iraqis generally are a religious and conservative people, there are strong secular tendencies in the country. Iraq is a Muslim nation with Arabic and Kurdish as its official languages. As such, Islamic holidays are celebrated. Other holidays include the Newroz, the Iraqi Army Day, and the International Workersâ holiday. Weekends in Iraq are Friday and Saturday, as opposed to the Western version of Saturday and Sunday.
The Arabic language is the dominant language in the area. However other languages and groups include the Persians of Iran who speak Farsi, the Kurdish people who are spread ouâ¦t throughout the Arabian Peninsula, and the Pashtun people, which is an ethnic group living in Afghanastan. Turkic languages or dialects are also spoken from groups in and out of Turkey.
