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: Kimpton EPIC Miami
While we ordinarily live in Miami, we’re not living there right now, as our place is still under construction due to an extended delay. Nonetheless we have to go to Miami once in a while for commitments, which allows me…
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
I write all my own content; no ghostwriters at OMAAT!
