So all in, about the same as the sale QF and SQ had.

So all in, about the same as the sale QF and SQ had.

A few differences I suppose:
- More destinations look to be available at the special prices
- The "fly out" date is more restrictive
- It's available now (I don't think the others still are?)
- You earn miles (SQ fare was non-points earning), plus bonus miles for booking via the Emirates website. I think it's a 50% bonus (but I stand to be corrected)

But where? Emirates FF scheme (Skywards) isn't particularly good, and they have very few partners.

I thought Emirates was in kahoots with DJ and the Velocity program, so they share partners that way.

In any case, you could credit the points to Velocity instead of Skywards. Probably the value will be less but at least you have a more practical set of points to play with / build up.

Still the fares to NZ are pretty good, and are still eligible for upgrades using Skywards Miles.

Hi there

Skywards has an Points + Pay offer from AUS-DXB for $600 round trip + 9000 Skywards points.

Might be tempted to spend a week in DXB soon

I credit all my EK flights to UA MP which is one of the better *A programs. Only counts towards RDM though, then again I'm not aiming for status on MP so it works out as the RDM might come in useful for something... eventually.
