A huge change – Emirates will now allow Cash+Miles awards
Written by flyfromscratch @ Miles & Even More
Emirates, one the Big 3 Middle-East based airlines and probably the one with the worst Frequent Flyer program of the lot, has made a small change to their miles redemption program. However, Emirates will now allow Skywards (its frequent flyer program) members to book Cash+Miles award tickets, in addition to all-miles awards.

Another India Based Airline to start flying international – Guess Which One ??
Written by flyfromscratch @ Miles & Even More
Indian Aviation has some very archaic rules about domestic airlines being able to fly international routes, rules that tend to favour international airlines more than our domestic airlines – but it seems another airline has finally managed to break this barrier – Go Air, India’s fifth largest airline, with almost 8% market share has finally been given the go ahead to fly international routes.

Review: Air India Dreamliner 787 Business Class Dubai to Delhi
Written by flyfromscratch @ Miles & Even More
India’s Flagship airline Air India has been in the news recently, for their upcoming Ahmedabad – London Heathrow – Newark flight, starting 15 August 2016 on their coveted Dreamliner Boeing 787’s. Flying a fifth freedom flight on one of the world’s most competitive routes, is a great way to be in the news for sure. So I thought this would be a good time to post my review of the business class product on Air India’s Dreamliner.
AI’s uses their Dreamliners on their most long haul routes like DEL-MEL-SYD, DEL-SIN, DEL-EWR and also on some domestic routes, which are more of a positioning flight. And a few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to fly DEL-DXB on AI Dreamliner Business Class, which is the subject of this post.
