Citi has added the ability to transfer points to Emirates at a 1:1 ratio.

You can also transfer AMEX, Capital One, Chase, and Marriott points to Emirates. Emirates miles expire after 3 years, at the end of your birth month, regardless of activity.

Most people aren’t thinking of booking award travel now, but when things go back to normal it will be a great time to travel before planes are full once again.

Citi transfer partners now include:

• Aeromexico (Skyteam): 1K:1K
• Air France/KLM Flying Blue (Skyteam): 1K:1K
• Avianca Lifemiles (Star Alliance): 1K:1K
• Cathay Pacific Asia Miles (OneWorld): 1K:1K

Emirates is famous for their A380 first class which is affectionately known as Shower Class for having amazing shower spas onboard. Their new 77Ws also have a truly fantastic new first class product, though only the A380s have showers onboard.
