Emirates has released fairly widespread first class award availability on flights to Dubai and beyond for much of 2016. While Emirates first class space isn’t as difficult to find as some other airlines, many of the flights have four seats available which is rare.
Alaska Airlines MileagePlan partners with Emirates and charges 90K each way to the Middle East and slightly more to go to Asia, Africa or Europe via Dubai. Alaska doesn’t charge fuel surcharges on these routes, making it a great deal.
