MCO to DXB , round trip, December to January
A350

Either
A. both legs Business, which would be 318k skywards miles round trip (I would need to transfer 375,000 AMEX points to reach this) and an additional $1,700

or

B. Departing flight is business, return flight is premium economy, this would be 245k skywards miles round trip (I would need to transfer 280,000 AMEX points) and an additional $1,000

Which of these options is the better pick? Or would you buy with cash instead (which is around $7,000 for round trip business)

Or if anyone has any other ideas to maximize my amex points to book an emirates flight lol

Thanks for the help

Hi,

Has anyone traveled to toronto with a pakistani passport and valid canadian PR via Frankfurt layover - emirates and air canada code share

If yes,

1- was luggage checked in to toronto?
2- did u need a transit visa as flights land and takeoff via different terminals

Thanks 🙏

I’m planning to travel in January to India and I normally always travel by Emirates. But with the recent situation I’m unable to decide if traveling by Emirates is a good option. In March this year my flight was cancelled and they rescheduled to another state after a few days. Then I had to pay for domestic flight and extra baggage.
My other option is Cathay but I’m traveling alone and I’m super nervous about turbulence. I read that North Pacific jet stream is strong so it’s a very turbulent flight.
