Fly one of the world's best airlines to Milan, Italy, Dubai, or cities across Africa and Asia this fall and winter for less than it costs to buy a couch. "The Big Takeoff" sale, which ends May 26, cuts regular airfare prices in half, offering tickets to Milan from New York for $994 for two ($497 per person), and to Dubai from all U.S. departures for $1,244 for two ($622 per person). Departure cities include New York, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Orlando, San Francisco, Seattle, and Washington, D.C. The only caveat is you must book as a party of two or more; solo travelers will have to find a friend to get in on the deal.
Emirates regularly ranks high in our Readers' Choice surveys of the best airlines, even for those not traveling first class. Travel dates vary, so read the fine print in order to find the lowest airfare and take advantage of extras, like a stopover in Dubai for just $100 more, available on many itineraries.
