Emirates' first class is arguably one of the most lavish and opulent first class experiences out there. Sadly, you can now no longer book with Emirates first class with miles unless you have elite status. Luckily, you can still use some parter miles to book Emirates first class. In this video, we'll show you how to do that, (focusing on Qantas whose rates are pretty reasonable.) How to Find & Book Emirates First Class with Miles (04:37) - There are two flights between the US and Europe using Qantas points for Emirates First Class where the price is fairly reasonable compared to the alternatives (Newark to Athens for 129,300 points, and JFK to Milan for 107,700 points). (10:05) - The best way to find availability is via a pro membership with Seats.Aero (14:26) - If you don't find what you need, don't forget, you can always set an alert with Seats.Aero! This tool is pretty powerful, and could help you land an experience that would otherwise be very difficult (or very expensive!)  Subscribe and Follow Visit https://frequentmiler.com/subscribe/ to get updated on in-depth points and miles content like this, and don’t forget to like and follow us on social media.
