Emirates recently launched nonstop service between New York and Milan. This means we all benefit with low fares — we are surprised that this deal is still around. It is set to expire on October 31st – if you didn’t get in on it last time, here’s a second chance.

The best price is on United from Newark for $580. Other airlines offer New York – JFK for $595.

(Yes, this does not meet our 6 cents per mile criterion but it isn’t that often that we see sub-$600 nonstop fares to Europe that isn’t Dublin, Istanbul or Moscow).

• For those who are flying with Emirates – Emirates is an Alaska Airlines partner. The fare will earn 50% mileage when crediting to Alaska. Alaska’s program is great for infrequent flyers – you can credit all Delta, American, British Airways, KLM, Air France, Cathay Pacific, Aeromexico and many others. We recommend you credit to them. It also allows for one way redemptions for most partners.
