Would Emirates allow us to book 3 flights and take all the 80k points off the total cost or would I have to book the flights separately to get the money off each flight?

There is 3 of us wanting to travel to DXB and get some money off the flight cost as its far too many miles to use in business or first

I have an American Express account so I could top up my 80k stash if needed


Thanks All
Hi Craig,

I think you may have to book 3 separate tickets using cash+miles to pay. You won't necessarily save or lose money that way, but remember two things:

1. Seat selection is only complimentary for skywards silver and above so you may need to pay for this on tickets booked by those not on this tier.
2. Cash+miles is only available on EK operated flights, no mixed metal.

Hope you find a solution!
