Hey AwardTrailblazers! Want to get to Europe without draining your points and miles stash? Emirates might be your new best friend. They offer "fifth-freedom" routes, which basically means they fly between two countries that aren't their home base (in this case, the U.S. and spots in Europe like Italy and Greece). Why is this cool? You can snag round-trip economy flights for as little as 35,000 miles or business class for 108,000 miles! That's potentially *way* cheaper than booking directly with other airlines. Emirates is known for a top-notch experience, so this could be a steal. The catch? Keep a close eye on those taxes and fees – they can be surprisingly high, so make sure the overall cost still makes sense for your budget. Happy travels!
