Frequently Asked Questions
Which Australian cities does Emirates fly from?
Emirates operates daily non-stop flights to Dubai from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. From Dubai, Emirates connects to over 140 destinations worldwide — making it one of the most versatile airlines for Australians travelling to Europe, the Middle East, Africa and beyond.
What is Emirates Business Class like?
Emirates Business Class on the A380 and 777 features fully flat beds with direct aisle access, a gourmet dining menu with premium wines, in-seat minibars, the ice entertainment system with 6,500+ channels, and access to the famous onboard lounge bar on A380 flights. It's consistently rated among the world's best business class products.
Do I still earn Skywards Miles or Qantas Points when booking through iFly?
Absolutely. You receive the exact same frequent flyer miles, tier points, and cabin privileges as booking direct. Simply enter your Skywards or Qantas Frequent Flyer number during checkout.
Why book through iFly instead of directly with the airline?
You get competitive live pricing without added checkout fees, paired with Australian-based ticket support. If you need to modify a complex itinerary, manage seats, or fix a disrupted connection, you speak to an expert rather than navigating automated call centres.
Is Emirates A380 better than the 777 for long-haul?
The A380 offers a noticeably superior experience — quieter, wider cabins, and the exclusive onboard lounge and shower spas in First and Business Class. Our team can advise which aircraft type operates your specific route and recommend the best cabin and seat configuration.
Can iFly help me book Emirates Skywards award flights?
Yes — our team can help you understand how to best use your Skywards Miles, including booking Classic award seats on Emirates and partner airlines. Call 1800 242 373 during business hours.
