Frequent Miler’s Favorite Flights of 2025
The Frequent Miler team isn’t just sitting around earning miles and signing up for new credit cards. Ok, we are. But we don’t just do that. We also travel a lot. Between all of us, we’ve quite literally taken hundreds of flights. But which ones stood out? Below, you’ll find the 2025 aerial highlights for each of us…and some may even surprise you. My wife and I flew Emirates First Class from Milan (MXP) to New York (JFK) on their A380 aircraft. It wasn’t equipped with Emirates’ “new” suites, but this was still a terrific way to fly!

Emirates First Class in 2026 – The Same Excess, Just More Refined
Emirates First Class has never exactly been subtle. There’s the caviar, the Dom Pérignon, the private suites, the onboard bar and, on the A380, the completely unnecessary but absolutely wonderful ability to take a shower at 40,000 feet. Excess has always been part of the appeal, and it’s why I love the product! Earlier this month, when I flew Emirates First from Cape Town to Toronto via Dubai, I wasn’t expecting to discover an entirely new product. What I found instead was something more interesting: a familiar product that had been quietly refined in a lot of small but

While a vast majority of those feature first class, there are also 15 of these planes without a first class cabin, intended primarily for short and medium

Emirates Says Goodbye to its 615 Seater Superjumbo as Airline Reaches ‘Defining Milestone’ for Premium Economy
Emirates is bidding farewell to the densest configuration of its flagship Airbus A380 superjumbo, a plane that was able to carry 615 passengers across its two decks, with a whopping 557 standard Economy seats stretching across the entire Main Deck and more than half of the Upper Deck. We’ve known for a few months that Emirates was planning to reconfigure its so-called ‘Two Class’ Airbus A380s by adding a Premium Economy cabin – and because Premium Economy seats take up more room than a standard Economy seat, the total capacity is dropping. 50 engineers were employed on
