Are there Emirates flights that don't go through DXB?
Basically I have some expiring Emirates miles that I need to use but I don't want to connect through Dubai. Are there any flights that doesn't connect in Dubai?

Edit: My origin and final destination is not relevant. Let's just assume I can be anywhere to take that flight

You can fly between Australia and NZ, Thailand, Singapore and Hong Kong without connecting in DXB. This is a good way to use miles.

(Also, its DXB)

Not a single Emirates flight connects through Dubai. Any Emirates flight that touches Dubai either starts or ends there.

A few airlines operate flights that connect through Dubai. Some examples are:

Cathay Pacific (HKG-DXB-BAH)
Qantas (SYD-DXB-LHR; MEL-DXB-LHR)
Royal Brunei Airlines (BWN-DXB-LHR)
Swiss (ZRH-DXB-MCT)

This is being a little too pedantic. I think the meaning of the question was quite clear.

I thought it was quite an amusing point to make, especially given the question has been answered

Not sure I would agree - there are lots of 'flight connections' areas for no connecting flights.

Or perhaps it's the passengers who are connecting?
