Premium Business Class with Low Fares

The Big Picture

Emirates is one of the best airlines in the industry and typically comes with a hefty price-tag when booking directly through Emirates. As of this year, Emirates is available to book through Air Canada for similar award fares only with way less taxes, saving you thousands. Air Canada is a transfer partner of Chase, AMEX, Capital One, and Barclays. And now through July 31, 2023, Chase has an additional 20% transfer bonus when transferring to Air Canada.

Treat yourself to a trip to Dubai on Emirates A380 on various routes, or connect through Dubai elsewhere like the Maldives. Flights to Dubai are available from both the east and west coast of the US. Business fares are between 101-126k per person each way. The price drops down to 84k-105k per person each way if transferring from Chase with the 20% transfer bonus. Keep in mind you can add a stopover on each one-way or round trip ticket through Air Canada for as little as 5k extra per person if you were interested in flying onward from Dubai.

Examples of routes available (priced per person one way without the transfer bonus bonus):

BOS to/from DXB= 100,500
JFK to/from DXB= 102,700
IAD to/from DXB= 105,000
ORD to/from DXB= 107,500
SEA to/from DXB= 110,000
MIA to/from DXB= 115,600
DFW to/from DXB= 117,700
SFO to/from DXB= 118,800
IAH to/from DXB= 119,000
LAX, MCO to/from DXB= 121,500
EWR to/from DXB= 125,500

All of the dates below have confirmed availability for at least 2 passengers. Expect to pay $60 per person each way in taxes. If business class is out of your budget, economy tickets may also be available for as low as 45k per person (or 38k with the transfer bonus).
