4:49 Correction: North America - Dubai - Maldives is 115,000 Aeroplan points with a stopover, not 95,000 points, with no fuel surcharges.

[@shacheb]

Thank you so much. I just watched this and I am on the website right now. Currently planning trip to the Maldives, so this was very helpful. I didn't get any Emirates but I did get Etihad. Pretty psyched about it. We flew Emirates to Dubai this past summer, so I would love to experiences Etihad. Thanks for sharing.

[@BodybreakHal-Jo]

Trying to book yyz to dxb very flexible on dates and the direct flight doesn’t seem to be available. Have they changed the rules already?

[@cyssoK]

what's the best way to find availability other than searching each individual day? NYC-DXB search doesn't show emirates for any of the days I checked except Mar 27 which was in your screenshot

[@Newfoundtravel]

Awesome advice Ricky. Just booked YYZ -DXB for April 9th 23 on the A380 for 90K each. So stoked for this flight.

[@Azadk0713]

Searching the same thing but for May and don't see this point redemption option... Am I doing something wrong? One way

[@Azadk0713]

Are you booking economy or business?

[@itsehsanh]

I also flew Etihad apartments (twice) and it truly is the pinnacle. Hoping to do Emirates J in a few weeks and Emirates A380 F when a feasible option becomes available.

I booked a YYZ-DXB-ABJ (all business class A380 & 777) in April for 55,000 AP points thanks to my Priority Rewards being SE100K. So hyped for this grail flight.

[@keyurmaniya4281]

I have a question, I am looking to book flight to India from Canada and found Air Canada+ Emirates. Where Emirates allow checking bags with no cost but what about Air Canada. Do I have to pay for extra bags? (Air Canada only allows Cabin bag)!

[@jc_cop]

One of my favourite airlines now linked to Aeroplan?!?! Wow Christmas came early this year!

Can’t find anything from GRU-DXB-PER late March.. what’s the best way to find award flights?

[@fdanieln8759]

We've booked EK DXB to FRA in Aug 2023 in business class on the a380. Got it for 45,000 points each for 4 of us, so very excited for our first EK flight and first a380 trip, and on the upper deck!

[@Th3120ck]

Is this CA flights only? Can't find any DFW - DXB - MLE availability

[@Azadk0713]

All businesses class seats, one way from Toronto to Dubai showing 300K Aeroplan points. Am I doing something wrong? Thought it's about 110K

[@xylliiiking]

Venny I'm definitely very excited Thanks venny for making the video

[@negativegains4883]

should i save my 350k aero for that stuff to try and catch a UFC event next year? i have 28 eupgrades that expire Jan 16th so i was gonna use some pts to try and do the latitude attitude thing. so expensive tho

[@yvr2002rtw]

I was able to fly on the Etihad Apartments in 2015 for only CAD 2,500 by starting in IST! Ticket was IST-AUH-JFK. IST-AUH was i. their regular first class and AUH-JFK was on the A380 in the First Class Apartments.

[@justinpope55]

I lucked into MEL-DXB-IAD on Emirates A380 (both segments) for 137k AP in October 2023 (13 hour layover in DXB, which is perfect). This follows up our inbound journey of LAX-SIN-MEL-SYD (A350/A380) on SQ. Absolutely cannot wait to try these products out for myself.

Great video Ricky. Were going to Dubai in April using Aeroplan pts. Since I heard about Emirates teaming up with aeroplan I’ve been on the phone trying to get through to a live person to see if I can make the switch. Currently we’re flying non stop Toronto to Dubai. My husband thinks I’m crazy wasting my time and effort trying to get through. I just want to experience flying with Emirate. Is it worth the effort 😵‍💫. PS is it worth purchasing the mixed cabin?

[@hmmm4more]

I experienced Emirates once in business class. it was incredible. Pity they do not offer more flights connecting from inland Canada at the moment.

[@Gelliny]

That's so nice!! I've just started my journey with points and I'll add that experience to my list.

[@k2dazbaby]

Dreams do come true! I can't wait to finally fly Emirates with my Aeroplan points.

[@mblakeborough]

Would this mean that since emirates is going to be dynamic, they will release all seats for award bookings like Air canada? Or is there still a limit on availability?

Aeroplan is not the only program that allows Emirates reward booking. Tap Portugal's miles and go program also allows Emirates reward booking . However there are surcharges but it is lower thank what Emirates charges under skywards program.

[@MAS90525]

There were a ton of spots available when this was first announced a few days ago. Many of the best spots quickly booked up but there's still some available m

Do you get lounge access in Dubai arrival

No unfortunately not, if you're connecting onwards in a premium cabin you should though

So if you do a stopover you should get lounge access on a departing flight?

Any chance Emirates and Etihad might merge into one airline which will later join Star Alliance?

do you know when we can book the one-way flight with a stopover by ourselves??? the last time i called aeroplan, i had to get up at 5 am ( mountain standard time) and waited for 2 hours. thank you.

These Middle East Airlines have no choice but to keep these top notch services and amenities or else no one will fly/go there. However EK think to highly of themself with the redemption rate lol. I still think Qatar Qsuite still better than EK biz

Lol this comment doesnt apply anymore bcoz these airlines have come a long way in proving themselves in more than one ways even if they don't give u any amenities which they are kinna reduced from before u will still fly them for more than many reasons
