Yes, you rad the title correctly: Italy and Dubai for under $700 per person.
If you haven’t heard yet Emirates is having a special offer that expires March 12, 2015: book two round-trip tickets to Dubai for just $1,299* in Economy Class, inclusive of all applicable government taxes and fees!
“Commencement of outbound travel shall be from New York (JFK), Boston (BOS), Chicago (ORD), Washington DC (IAD), Houston (IAH), Seattle (SEA), Los Angeles (LAX), San Francisco (SFO) and Dallas Ft. Worth (DFW) to Dubai (DXB) between March 24 and December 10, 2015 utilizing Emirates operated flights only, codeshares do not apply.”
As I began to look into the offer I remembered my post “14 Hours in Paris” and I began to wonder if any of the flights had any layovers. I went to the Emirates website and searched flights from JFK to Dubai, sure enough two flights came up with a stop in Milan. *Light Bulb Comes on*
Since the conditions for their promo doesn’t state “No stop overs” I then went back and did a multi city search for JFK to Milan (MXP), MXP to Dubai, Dubai to JFK. You have to make sure you search for 2 passengers or else the promo doesn’t apply and enter the promo code: USALK15 (Code needed only for Travel from now to May, no code for travel the rest of the year).
As you can see in my example above I had arranged my trip to be 7 days long and to spend 3 of those days in Milan and the rest in Dubai! My total for both destinations came out to be about $630 per person! I call that a deal!
