The coronavirus pandemic has been tough on the travel industry. While demand is slowly recovering, TSA numbers show less than half as many people are flying this year than in 2019. This is extremely unfortunate for the travel industry, but it has resulted in one small positive for travelers: wide-open award space.
We’ve seen record numbers of open award space on premium routes since the start of the pandemic. Things like Emirates first class, Qatar Qsuites and even transcontinental business class are generally tough to book but currently have open award space through the end of 2021.
Emirates has two tiers of first-class award tickets: Flex and Saver.
Saver tickets are less expensive, but award space is harder to come by. Further, you need to book Saver tickets as a part of a round-trip award ticket. Pricing varies, but you can expect to pay 217,500 miles round-trip departing from the East Coast and 247,500 from the Midwest.

You can book these tickets on the Emirates website just make sure to select the “Classic Rewards” option when you search. Further, you can click the “+/- 3 days” button on the Advanced Search page to see a week’s worth of award space at once.
