I admittily forgot that if you book round-trip you get a points discount for Emirates flights. I should've included that in the MAXIMIZE section. If you book round-trip it could be as low 108,000 points but it's hard to find award availability. You'll most likely find 141,000 points round-trip redemptions which is still pretty good. Pinning this to the top so you're aware!
That's why on my Emirates, Qatar and Etihad pajyamas I have "PAID F" embroidered below the logo, so people know I'm not a travel card flexor. I'm more than happy to pay $14k from DFW > DOH > BKK for the opportunity to pay my seamstress to embroider my *EARNED* airline loungewear!
Yes, in theory, it should be bookable via Qantas for 75k, but you'll find that Qantas doesn't have much Emirates award availability. Emirates doesn't release the same award availability to its partners as it does to Emirates Skyward members.
@AnthonyBove that's not what I meant. I was saying more what if I wanted to go to Rome but also would love to take this flight to get to Italy. So I would fly into Milan but how do I get to rome? By train?
For the economy seat it’s likely available via Qantas but for the business seat it’s unlikely since Emirates severely limits the award space they open to partner airlines. You can technically book the Emirates flight on Aeroplan for less points but the award availability is pretty much non existent for the outbound jfk to MXP flight.

Max, you're the GOAT!!! Let's go 60k subs!!!
Nice video on points & miles redemption. Thanks Max!
An on-board bar filled with entitled metal card peasants, NO thanks.
😂 even no annual fee credits have metal cards now , it’s really not a flex

@@ryanshannon6963LOL this has to be a joke. I hope you’re joking
Do you find it difficult to find award availability for 2 people?
The way I was like... It's JFK - MXP on Emirates.. as soon as you said bar... I may be in too deep.
Max you are the GOAT! Seriously none of the other award youtubers gives us this kind of info. I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers
I'm happy to hear that Emirates started using the A380 again for flights to MXP. Now I can plan a trip this fall or winter.
Very informative video however if you use Qantas points business is only 75000 points!

We just flew the a380 to Mxp it was very nice.
glad to hear you enjoyed it!
Wow thanks max
If you care for a challenge, I'd love to know your take on flights to Argentina from the US using points. Thanks.
😃
Is there a best way to book for you and p2? Do we each make our own Emirates account or can you use points to book for 2
Big difference between business and first for this airline?
Singapore Airlines IAH to MAN.
Website is glitchy, booked on the app
🇮🇹✈️✨️💳
Is emirates business class lie flat seats?
A380 - yes
Uff i go to Italy at least once a year, I’m definitely trying this one
Even if you don't go to Milan? Say you wanted to go to rome?
@@hugoenriquez9318 this particular flight with the bar doesn’t go to Rome, the other 2 videos he did are good for flight to Rome

@@hugoenriquez9318 yea that would work, you could get a regular ticket for super cheap or opt for a first class experience, still not very expensive
At 6:21 the seats.aero dialog said that it's even cheaper if you book with Qantas. It looks like AmEx, Citi, and Capital One are transfer partners.
