Earlier tonight, Amir on Twitter tipped us off on Emirates running a very good promotion to Dubai right now — $1,299 for 2 people or $650 per person (you must travel in a party of of 2 in order to receive this price) that is good for travel until December 10th.

However, if you are traveling by May 31st, Alaska Airlines has a special promotion with Emirates that brings this down to $600 per person.

• $50 off per person
• And double miles
• Please register for the double miles and credit this to Alaska. You will earn enough miles for a domestic one-way award ticket with Alaska or American from this.

This fare is available from:

• New York (JFK)
• Boston (BOS)
• Chicago (ORD)
• Washington DC (IAD)
• Houston (IAH)
• Seattle (SEA)
• Los Angeles (LAX)
• San Francisco (SFO)
• Dallas Ft. Worth (DFW)

From Dubai, you can visit a lot places on the cheap using the low cost carrier FlyDubai.

If you are in New York and only New York, you can do Milan and Dubai for $630.

Sample Travel Date:

• April 7th – 14th

Fare Availability:

• $600 Per Person: Valid for travel until May 31st with promo code with a 4 day minimum stay. Must purchase at least 14 days in advance of departure

ITA pricing is not sync’ing with Emirates site pricing. Instead, go to Emirates and use the flexible date search first. If you are traveling before May 31st, once you find your dates, switch to Emirates Multi-destinations / Stopover screen to enter the promo code to receive the discount.

ITA will price this at $1,299. To obtain the $1,200 or $600 per person price, you must enter promo code “USALK15” on Emirates.com’s Multi-destinations / Stopover screen.
