We first posted this deal from New York to Dubai on May 14th. After all this time, United still has this fare available.
For country collectors: You can visit Kish Island, Iran, visa free from Dubai. Kish Island is 123 miles from Dubai, so the flight time is really short, though you will need to find a travel agent in Dubai to buy a ticket. Here’s an article from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette about Kish Island.
