tl;dr – A list of compelling travel deal(s) that you might want to consider.
Welcome back to another edition of “Deals I’m Booking That You Should Book Too”, a weekly series where I walk you through three curated (possibly more) random travel deals – points & miles, cash, otherwise (?) – that I find compelling for one reason or another. I’ll try to keep this coming to you every Friday (hopefully 😉). You can find the past installments here. Ok, let’s dive into it.
The Deal
An Accessible Emirates Business Award Fare Class That’s Always Available on Points
For a long time now, Emirates has flown a Boeing 777 fifth freedom route between Mexico City and Barcelona. If you’re looking to enjoy Emirates hospitality, in lay-flat business class (albeit not the carrier’s glamorous Airbus A380 business class), then you may want to consider hopping across the border.
Yes, Emirates points transfer ratios to Emirates have taken a hit (Amex and Citi are now both 1 to .8). I’ll point out that Capital One and Bilt are still 1 to 1, and this route (as many as 7 seats) is available for 96,000 Emirates Skywards virtually any day of the week (as is the inverse routing BCN -> MEX).
Go ahead and position in CDMX for some tacos, lie flat, before enjoying some evening tapas.
Alright, tune in next week for another installment. If you have at all found this helpful and would like more of these and other (hopefully) helpful tips, hit the subscribe button below.
