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: Airelles Palladio Venice, Italy (What A Gorgeous City Resort!)
For the next portion of my Four Seasons Yacht via Turkmenistan and Saudi Arabia adventure, Ford and I spent a night at the 45-key Airelles Palladio Venice, which is one of the city's newest luxury hotels, having just opened in April…
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
