Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book award flights for Emirates from the U.S. to Dubai (DXB) in January or February, as these months typically see lower demand and better availability for premium cabins compared to the peak travel season from June to August.
Sweet Spot
You can fly round-trip in first class from New York (JFK) to Dubai (DXB) for just 200,000 Skywards miles, which typically costs around $16,000 in cash.
Routing Trick
Book a round-trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB) instead of flying direct from JFK to BKK, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to a direct award ticket.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines on routes to Las Vegas, as they charge a $50 fee for carry-on bags and a $100 fee for checked luggage, significantly increasing your travel costs.
