Do you have any suggestions as to ways to get there and things to do there?

Thanks.

I've heard good things about Emirates, and from the US a non-stop JFK-DXB is available. From Bangkok, Thai or Emirates should work. Which airline alliance do you want to credit the points to and in which cabin would you be flying?

Are you going on a family trip, or a solo trip? If I had a bit more of an idea on what you have liked to do on other trips, then we may be able to tailor some ideas?

There is a "desert bedouin" type experience that you can pay for. There are some grand hotels and even a quite good water park. There's something for everyone there. The Emirates forum has some people who not only fly the airline frequently, but also has frequent Dubai visitors too.
