Smart Recommendations
Best Time to Book
Book your Emirates award flights for travel to Europe from the U.S. in early September (specifically from September 1-15), as this is when availability tends to be highest due to lower demand after the summer peak.
Sweet Spot
You can fly from New York (JFK) to Milan (MXP) in Emirates business class for 70,000 miles, which typically costs around $4,500 in cash.
Routing Trick
Use the Emirates Skywards program to book a round trip from New York (JFK) to Bangkok (BKK) via Dubai (DXB) instead of booking directly with a partner airline, saving approximately 10,000 miles compared to the direct partner rate of 80,000 miles.
Avoid These Fees
Avoid flying with Spirit Airlines, as they charge up to $100 for a carry-on bag and $45 for a checked bag, which can significantly increase the overall cost of your travel.
