I’m flying right now in an Emirates Shower Class Suite to Dubai and will be on the road until the middle of next week, though my brother JJ will keep posting great bargains while I’m traveling.
I’ve got lots to say about Emirates and the experience, but in the meantime I’ve shared a few Facebook Live videos on the DansDeals Facebook Group. These were my first live videos, but I have to say it was pretty cool to be able to see people’s comments in real time and answer them on the video.

- Join the 28,700+ people following the DansDeals.com Facebook group who used to get instant email alerts of only the hottest deals before facebook stupidly turned off the “email group” feature. Now it’s more of a poorly organized version of DDF…though it has its moments. And it seems pretty great for Facebook Live as well.
- Like the new DansDeals.com Facebook page.
- Subscribe to the DansDeals.com RSS feed at http://www.dansdeals.com/feed, or to the DansDeals comments RSS feed at http://www.dansdeals.com/comments/feed where you can get updates on all the recent comments, no matter which deal they’re posted on.
- 26K+ people receive a daily email digest of everything posted on Dansdeals.com via Google’s Feedburner service! Bear in mind that with this service you will receive emails a day after a deal is posted, so there’s a decent chance that by the time you get the email the deal will be dead already…which is why I prefer the twitter option. It seems to be a favorite pastime of Feedburner subscribers to email me asking how dare I send them an email of deals after the deal is already dead or to leave irate comments like this one. At any rate to subscribe just locate the “Daily Email Digest” section in the sidebar of this site, enter your email address, and subscribe. You can also use the Feedburner RSS feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/Dansdeals
- Post comments and share your thoughts right on the site under every single deal posting! Participating and interacting is what makes this site fun! Every deal also has a comments RSS feed that you can subscribe to.

Can why not fly etihad? Way nicer
Enjoy your journey, bring home lots of new information, Thank you for everything
How many miles / points does it take to fly with Emirates to Dubai / the far east in that class?
@DansDeals Any problems flying middle east carriers? Do they give you derogatory looks?
Is there a shabbos chabad house in Dubai? Curious
@CZ60:
Thanks.
@Joe:
Am I only taking 1 leg?
@Joe:
Round-trip it’s 100K JAL to Europe, 135K to Dubai, 155K to Maldives in Emirates First.
So you can book a round-trip from just 80K SPG.
@Jeremy:
Not at all. I don’t think the staff onboard the flight can possible be any nicer.
@Ari:
I’ll look and let you know 🙂
@Joe: You’ll have to wait for the rest of the trip for that 🙂 #insiderinfo
Seems like they have a boycott on Coke products, no?
Like how you compare the shower to Brooklyn apartments.
Enjoy!
Thanks for all you do for us
Dan, how’s the food?
Hey Dan – in DXB now – where are you headed ??
So in shower class, you have a first class lie-flat seat, and a bathroom with shower that is shared with anyone in shower class?
you find a good use for the dansdeals Facebook page!
Wow!
Since JJ is your brother, can’t you hook him up with a shower-class flight too? In return he’ll hook you up with a great deal on a classy home shower.
@Yossi:
BYOK FTW 😉
@Brian Farbman:
DXB for a couple of days and then MLE.
@Moish:
2 shower spa bathrooms.
@Mayer:
Lol
@Moish:
Someone has to keep the lights on here 🙂
What’s your routing on the way back?

@Jeremy: Not at all. They are very professional. They know the ins and outs of what to do and not with Kosher meals and don’t try any tricks. When I flew Emirates C last month, the steward even knew that I would not take the wine he was offering!
@Dan: so it’s 50k jal one way ?do they fly to yyz ?also how much is surcharges for one way or rt ?thanx !
@duvid: 1. You can only book roundtrip with JAL.
2. No.
3. GIYF (Google it yourself)
@mmgfarb: dan says otherwise in his new spg to israel chart…..
