Hello from New York! While I had an amazing time in the Maldives, it’s nice to be back “home” (whatever that means).
As you guys know, I flew Cathay Pacific business class home from the Maldives, thanks to the cheap business class fares they publish between Male and New York. So over the weekend I flew from Male to Hong Kong to Newark.
Up until now I’ve never reasonably been able to justify flying Cathay Pacific business class rather than first class. When redeeming American miles for travel between the US and Asia, the cost for first class is only 12,500 miles more one-way than the cost of business class. Given all the extra services, booking first class is a no brainer.

While Emirates in general is growing at an extremely fast pace, it seems like their US growth lately has been almost unparalleled. Just so far this year:
-- Emirates will be adding a second daily Dubai to Seattle flight as of July 7, 2015
-- Emirates will be adding a Dubai to Orlando flight as of October 1, 2015
-- Emirates will be upgrading their New York to Milan flight to an A380 as of June 1, 2015
-- Emirates added a fourth daily flight to New York as of March 8, 2015
While I get the added capacity to New York, the new Orlando route announcement caught me off guard. The addition of a second daily Dubai to Seattle flight kind of surprised me as well, since that's a route they've only added in the past few years.
