Emirates' fifth freedom routes
In this article:
If we exclude some African carriers such as Ethiopian and Kenya Airways, Emirates is undoubtedly the world airline that operates the most flights Taking advantage of the fifth freedom.
These flights have the characteristic of taking off and landing in a country other than the home country of the airline operating the flight.
Definitely in EK's network the most popular flights are the Milan/New York e the Bangkok/Hong Kong And, of course, I have already flown on both.
The best bonuses
The one from Milan is one of the most sought after since it allows them to fly to NY on the A380, only route that does not depart Dubai for the Big Apple on the emirate fleet's flagship aircraft. The other is famous because it is the one that allows you to fly with the cheapest ticket a Aboard the A380 First Class, a ticket that often costs even less than €900 round trip.
These routes have the characteristic of always being very economical, taking into consideration the aircraft (777 or A380) and the quality of service offered by Emirates, while competitors often use small aircraft and basic service.
The routes that touch Europe/America. They are: Larnaca - Malta; Athens - Newark; Milan - New York JFK; Barcelona-Mexico City: Rio-Buenos Aires; Miami - Bogota
Then there are those in Asia/Oceania: Sydney - Christchurch; Singapore - Melbourne; Bangkok-Hong Kong; Male - Colombo;
