Emirates are the national airline of Dubai, the desert emirate famed for its soaring skyscrapers, man-made islands and myriad other hideously ambitious building projects. The airline is one of the most ambitious in the world and has become a trendsetter for making profits whilst maintaining a high level of service for customers. Emirates fly from Australia to Europe, North America, Asia, the Middle East and North America with flights going through their hub in Dubai. They run a program for frequent flyers called Skywards where you can build points and redeem them for flights with Emirates and claim other rewards. Check out the Emirates Citi Platinum Card which lets you earn points to redeem on Emirates flights and Virgin Blue flights.
