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: Park Hyatt Vienna, Austria (World Of Hyatt Gem)
For the next hotel stay ofour royal visit to Versailles, I spent a quick night at the 146-room Park Hyatt Vienna. The property first opened in 2014, so it’s a bit over a decade old. I had actually stayed there…
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
