40.8k points for First-Class to Greece on Emirates

On Nov 1st, Bilt has a 75-150% transfer bonus to Emirates (depending on your Bilt tier).

Emirates is scheduled to "adjust" biz-class redemptions on 01/10/24, which is likely a devaluation. Lock in your flights before award prices jump up.

If you're interested in these destinations, this might be for you:
• Greece, Italy, & other European countries
• Japan, Korea
• Mauritius
• Australia

A quick search returned plenty of avail from Newark (EWR) to Athens, Greece (ATH) in first-class. The normal price is 102k pts one-way but the Bilt bonus drops this to only 40.8-58.3k points for first-class.

There are insane deals to be had and savvy award travelers will snap these up. Book first, figure out details later!

Here are the easiest & fastest ways to find Emirates availability.
