Emirates First Class Malta-DXB-USA First Class one way for under $3K
 
Searching for a way to avoid BA this week and I stumbled on this interesting EK deal. Not a steal but cheaper, more miles and less stressful that CAI.
• MLA-DXB-JFK for $2,935 and most everywhere else in the US (LAX/SFO/SEA/IAD/BOS) for $3,535 one way.
• RT for $4,676 and $5,617 respectively.

Also from ATH.

So, for AS MVP's, given that the routing is MLA-LCA-DXB-JFK, this would earn 575% routing in A and 53,854 RDM? Fare rules suggest it's cancellable for 75 EUR.

Biz is also available for €1755, which is angle-flat on the ~6 hour flight from MLA-DXB through LCA (in the early evening) and then obviously lie-flat on the 380 from DXB-JFK.

Good finds. Also, I can't help chuckling about the understandable desire to avoid BA.

Not necessarily (although pretty good odds for now). The latest EK 77Ws have a new J seat which is fully lie flat.

Good find. For me it's not about avoiding BA, but rather avoiding LHR. I really, really hate that airport.

Have used this fare for several years now. It's fantastic, however sometimes they downgrade the aircraft to 2 class on the DXB-ATH-DXB legs.

Even better, you should get a 75% discount for the downgrade ;-).

i have had no such luck! I asked for compensation, and EK call center told me to ask for it at the airport (DXB) and it was a waste of time.

File it with the relevant EU aviation authority.
