Ideas for Emirates Tier Mile Run / FIRST
Hello all. I have time, love flying Emirates first, but want to spend as little as possible - don't we all. Does anyone have any ideas for a series of eg 6/7 emirates first flights together in a route that is particularly cost effective? Any particular departing airports that are cheap, or any particular destinations that will save cost. Preferably ex-EU/UK. Any ideas appreciated!

I see ex-Oslo appears to be good value, as well as ex-JNB - flights to Bangkok and Jakarta seem cheaper too.

Any quick tips or suggestions from people who know much more about this would be much appreciated?

Thanks.

CAI-DXB-SIN-MEL-SIN-DXB-CAI is around £9k in F.

Considering it's £3.2 MAN-DXB-MAN in J, I'd consider that pretty good value.

CAI and CMB used to be two origins with great F fares, but last time I looked it was no longer the case but you may find something there.

Couldn’t you just do this from LHR instead of CAI for basically the same price? Without having to go to CAI?
