Emirates restricts first class awards to elite members only

I don’t know much about champagne but this is what I was served onboard View attachment 485816

The standard Dom is delicious, but the rose and P2 are better still (had the DP Rose on both SYD-DXB and DXB-SEA in October ).

Emirates appears to be releasing F rewards a month out between Australia and Dubai.

There are quite a few days with DXB to BNE or MEL in January.

I had previously snagged a F reward from Europe to Dubai and then was going to fly Y back on Qatar to Australia, was able to call and snag an F seat instead added to the existing booking.

They also seem to be readily available again ex SYD for late next year. Getting F beyond DXB is still problematic.
