Emirates A380 First Class award space using Alaska Airlines miles is available for several dates this fall and winter, but going quickly (I was already booking seats for some Award Booking clients, before it got publicized by MileValue), so act fast if you want a seat. Recently Emirates A380 First Class using Alaska Airlines miles has been very difficult to come by, especially for two people–see Emirates A380 First Class Awards for Two with Alaska Airlines Miles?
The best award space this fall and winter, including a number of dates with award availability for two people, is out of Houston.
How to Search for Emirates First Class Award Space Using Alaska Miles
- Select “Plan & Book” > “Flights” and check the “Use Miles” box
- Enter your one of Emirates' U.S. destinations, such as Houston, San Francisco or JFK, and Dubai as the destination (even if your ultimate destination is beyond Dubai–it's easiest to first search for the long U.S. to Dubai segment in first class)
- Check the “Award Calendar” box then the “Find” button
- When the award calendar appears, check the “First Class” box
- Look for dates that have 90,000 miles, since these are dates that Emirates First Class is available
- 90,000 Alaska miles each way to fly between the U.S. and the Middle East, including Dubai, India, the Maldives
- 100,000 Alaska miles each way between the U.S. and Asia or between the U.S. and Africa
