Emirates has come out swinging with dramatic changes to their award redemptions, thanks to their new partnership with our very own Aeroplan.
Meanwhile, competitor Etihad Airways re-establishes their presence by resurrecting their luxurious Etihad Apartments on the Airbus A380.
In this video, we’ll cover everything you need to know about the latest twists and turns from the two UAE airline giants as we wrap up 2022.

4:49 Correction: North America – Dubai – Maldives is 115,000 Aeroplan points with a stopover, not 95,000 points, with no fuel surcharges.
PoT: Isn't the partnership with United going to give some of the same opportunities as aeroplane?
These Middle East Airlines have no choice but to keep these top notch services and amenities or else no one will fly/go there. However EK think to highly of themself with the redemption rate lol. I still think Qatar Qsuite still better than EK biz
I was able to fly on the Etihad Apartments in 2015 for only CAD 2,500 by starting in IST! Ticket was IST-AUH-JFK. IST-AUH was i. their regular first class and AUH-JFK was on the A380 in the First Class Apartments.
Any chance Emirates and Etihad might merge into one airline which will later join Star Alliance?
One of my favourite airlines now linked to Aeroplan?!?! Wow Christmas came early this year!
This is all great and all, but isn’t there a level of shame when the average churner walks off the first class flight and has to eat at McDonald’s or have instant noodles in the hotel to afford the trip? What are we really doing here?
Can’t find anything from GRU-DXB-PER late March.. what’s the best way to find award flights?
Is this CA flights only? Can't find any DFW – DXB – MLE availability
what's the best way to find availability other than searching each individual day? NYC-DXB search doesn't show emirates for any of the days I checked except Mar 27 which was in your screenshot
Andaz London! Stayed there in June. Great Hotel 🛏
I have never seen ricky so excited
About to board the Emirates A380 to Milan using Aeroplan. The beast is stronger than ever 💪🏻

Definitely luxury trap trend
Awesome advice Ricky. Just booked YYZ -DXB for April 9th 23 on the A380 for 90K each. So stoked for this flight.
Just wow 😊
should i save my 350k aero for that stuff to try and catch a UFC event next year? i have 28 eupgrades that expire Jan 16th so i was gonna use some pts to try and do the latitude attitude thing. so expensive tho
Dreams do come true! I can't wait to finally fly Emirates with my Aeroplan points.
I have a question, I am looking to book flight to India from Canada and found Air Canada+ Emirates. Where Emirates allow checking bags with no cost but what about Air Canada. Do I have to pay for extra bags? (Air Canada only allows Cabin bag)!
I lucked into MEL-DXB-IAD on Emirates A380 (both segments) for 137k AP in October 2023 (13 hour layover in DXB, which is perfect). This follows up our inbound journey of LAX-SIN-MEL-SYD (A350/A380) on SQ. Absolutely cannot wait to try these products out for myself.
Venny I'm definitely very excited Thanks venny for making the video
All businesses class seats, one way from Toronto to Dubai showing 300K Aeroplan points. Am I doing something wrong? Thought it's about 110K
Great video Ricky. Were going to Dubai in April using Aeroplan pts. Since I heard about Emirates teaming up with aeroplan I’ve been on the phone trying to get through to a live person to see if I can make the switch. Currently we’re flying non stop Toronto to Dubai. My husband thinks I’m crazy wasting my time and effort trying to get through. I just want to experience flying with Emirate. Is it worth the effort 😵💫.
PS is it worth purchasing the mixed cabin?
