Emirates quick facts
Emirates is the state carrier of Dubai, and operates an exclusively long-haul fleet.
Understanding the Emirates Skywards loyalty program
Skywards is the frequent flyer program for Emirates, and with several transfer partner programs, it’s fairly easy to accrue miles.
That’s a good thing, as if you want to redeem miles for Emirates first class, you’ll have to book directly through the Emirates Skywards program.

TRAVEL REVIEW
Review: SWISS A320 Business Class (NCE-ZRH)
After spending some time in Saint-Tropez, our next stop was Sylt, Germany. We flew there in SWISS business class via Zurich. In this installment I wanted to review the first flight, as it was on the A320, which I haven’t…
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
