JFK to Milan - $400 RT on Emirates (when buying 2 tickets)
« on: January 19, 2015, 07:14:40 AM »
Similar to last time, Emirates has JFK to Milan Italy for around $400 when buying two tickets. Last time this was around $500.

Travel by 5/10 must go for 3 days incl. a Sunday.  Interesting.

Seems like United matched this out of EWR. Same rules 2 or more passengers

So I am somewhat torn about the idea of flying Emirates. Does anyone have any ethical issues given that it is owned by the UAE? I know United is an alternative but I believe that in terms of quality of aircraft and service Emirates is supposed to be far better.

Thoughts please?

If you fly Turkish air then you can fly with Emirates.

I haven't flown Turkish but it seems Turkey is in a way worse than the UAE.

Just Listen to how Erdoğan speaks, anyway I never heard any issues with people flying with Emirates.

My point wasn't whether anyone had negative issues flying Emirates; I was questioning the hava amina of flying an Arab airline. In the end, I've decided to fly United.

Appreciate your views.
