How can I use Emirates to fly from NYC to TLV?
JFK-IKA-TLV
IKA? as in Iran to TLV? is that a good idea 🙂
It’s usually the other way around. You can catch a ride back with the IAF planes.
Any sweet spots on their award chart?
For travel on AA.
Can always count on Pointer for #FreezingColdTakes
Off peak Europe 20k. AA (Econ.)
44k to Africa, AT (business)
With Emirates??
Yep
Damn! My bad
Etihad.
If I dont plan on flying Emirates ever does this provide any value? Say for Domestic or Israel fights?
since emirates now became a viable option for many people it would be great of you could publish their award charts
Watch out for some hefty fuel surcharges before booking.
It is exactly 1 year ago when chase added jetblue as a transfer partner & has removed korean air at the same time. Maybe again next year this time they will add another partner.
Yawn…can he have nice things like OZ or A3 ? One can dream
welp there goes award availabilty, watch emirates be flooded with kids using points now
Time for current chart w options and cost for chase UR to Israel on coach and biz
Most of us will take a shower class at home
I fly Emirates all the time from MXP to JFK. It’s a superb experience and the latest (timewise) flight out of Italy avoiding the need to kill a full day on board. I typically go UA EWR-MXP and hack a GPU an hour before the flight and use Emirates for the return. Book a economy flex at 700 euro and upgrade with 30K mikes. It’s my most well spent miles. I do it 5-6 times annually.
Athens is also a good option for a entry and exit off the European continent
Does Emirates have a lot of availability for upgrading to business?
I never have an issue. Occasionally it’ll clear only on the day of flight
this might need to be updated
A round-trip from JFK to Dubai in Shower Class will set you back from 217.5K miles+$1,723 in fuel surcharges.
i think its 272,500 (when available)
that is the flex price not saver price
