:confused::confused:
Not sure of your question:

Are you asking why: NYC-DXB is more expensive than NYC-MAA on EK?
Thats because NYC-DXB non-stop convenience is only offered by EK.

I dont understand the 9W bit.

I looked at going to MAA from NYC.The EK sale price is much lower than the 9W price in FEB ,Trying to see if going to DXB By Buisness and switching to Indian carriers there by economy[ as EW has no Flat beds on DXB MAA] sector, notice that EK buisness[NYC TO DXB] is more expensive than NYC to MAA buisness.

Yes, thats because EK is the unique airline offering a non-stop to DXB from JFK. So, they can charge whatever they want.

However, for MAA, they have to compete with several airlines which offer one-stop trips...such as AI, 9W, LH, EY, QR. So, they discount that market as much as they want to.
