| | Emirates Business Class To Europe, Up to 7 Seats | Emirates recently tacked on carrier-imposed surcharges to award tickets on its fifth freedom routes between the US and Europe. While that’s frustrating, both routes can still provide a great way to get multiple people to Europe in business class. | Given how little award space we see on non-stops to Athens we typically see, this can be a particularly good option to/from the northeast and need a lot of seats. | You can also upgrade to first class at check-in for a reasonable number of miles. | Now, let’s get into it! | | | Routes: | | Operating airline: Emirates

| | | Flight Experience | Emirates first class gets all the press, but the business class product is a solid way to fly to Europe. The business class cabin is arranged in a 1-2-1 layout so everyone has direct aisle access and a lie-flat seat.
While Emirates is sending their newly retrofitted 777s on the Newark to Athens route, the big selling point of the A380 is the inflight bar. It’s a great spot to hang with friends - or make new friends! | | How To Search | Search with Emirates: | Select "Log in to earn and spend Skywards Miles" and log in Check the box "Classic rewards" Enter your origin/destination Select your departure and/or return date(s) via calendar If booking one-way, check box "One-way" above calendar Check box for "My dates are flexible (-/+ 3 days)" Select number of passengers Select class of service Select date Select flight
| Happy booking! |
