Life’s short. Fly luxuriously with ease with Miles or Points or for up to 60% off with dollars with FCF’s New A380 discount availability cheat sheets.
The A380 “superjumbo” is the world’s largest passenger aircraft. And it’s just as big a barbecue conversation stopper when you talk about that shower you took in your Emirates First Class suite. Mic drop. Steak’s burning.
The Awesome A380
Yes, this travel experience is a bucket list buster in the truest sense. I’ve flown on Emirates several times, and let me say, it’s nothing short of amazing.
If you haven’t flown for a while or are just itching to splurge on something nice for yourself, why not go big and tick off the A380 experience now that it’s back in service on Emirates? The A380 is reemerging on a number of other airlines including British Airways to London from Los Angeles and Miami and Qantas to Sydney from Los Angeles. But the only great deal at the moment is with Emirates.
The A380 Seat (Or Should We Say Throne?)
Emirates has brought back A380s on its service between Dubai and New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC; and New York-Milan.
The Emirates First Class suite is one of the best First Class suites in the air. The shoulder-high enclosed compartment offers sliding doors for a comfortable, private experience. Depending on the specific aircraft and route, the number of suites ranges from eight to 14 in a 1x2x1 configuration.
Each suite has an 80.5”-long lie-flat seat, a personal mini-bar, vanity table, mirror, wardrobe, and a 27” entertainment monitor. And as mentioned, A380 suite passengers also get to use the in-flight Shower Spas. Take a closer look at the experience here.
No Emirates Miles? No Problem.
Getting Emirates miles is relatively simple. They’re a point transfer partner with four credit card reward programs — Amex, Capital One, Chase, and Marriott — so it’s easy to transfer points across any of them. Our research shows that transfer times from Amex, Capital One, and Chase are nearly instantaneous, while Marriott points can take up to three days.
No Points? No Problem.
You can buy up to 500,000 Amex Rewards points per year for just 2.5 cents each. Given that the baseline First Class fare from San Francisco to Dubai is often $16,300, and that you can buy 247,500 Amex Rewards Points for $6,187, plus add taxes with the Emirates loyalty program for ~$400, you save $9,713. That’s a whopping 60% off.
