Great news for anyone wanting to try Emirates business for first class on their Airbus A380!
Emirates is bringing the A380 back to its fifth freedom route New York-JFK to Milan starting March 31, 2024. The return of the A380 means a much better business class experience compared to Emirates' Boeing 777. Plus, you can enjoy the inflight bar at the rear of the business class cabin on an A380.
For first class passengers, it means you'll be able to take a shower in the sky.
Points Wire Note:
This is your best bang for you buck/points if you want to fly Emirates business or first class. Unlike flights to Dubai (or connecting in Dubai), the fifth-freedom routes have reasonable award rates and don't include steep surcharges which make the taxes/fees rough.
