*** Update April 24, 2023: It’s confirmed! Emirates announced today<\/a> that flights will indeed begin on July 5, 2023 and that booking is now available. <\/em><\/p>\n

In early April, we published an article informing that there would be an increase in flights between Canada and the United Arab Emirates<\/a>. Emirates and Etihad Airways have since decided to increase their frequencies to Toronto.<\/p>\n

In mid-April, Air Canada announced a new direct flight<\/a> between Vancouver and Dubai (4 flights per week).<\/p>\n

Then, we learned from various sources that Emirates<\/a> was preparing to launch a new daily<\/strong> direct flight between Montreal and Dubai.<\/p>\n

So now we have more details as of April 24, 2023. Here is the schedule as of July 05, 2023:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This flight will be operated with a Boeing 777-300ER. Then it’s time to experience the luxurious 8 suites in First Class, the 42 lie-flat<\/em> seats in Business Class and the 304 seats in Economy Class.<\/p>\n

Here is our experience on the B777 First Class between Dubai and Toronto<\/a>, which will be the same class as the flight to Montreal.<\/p>\n

This is excellent news for Montreal<\/a>: in addition to facilitating access to the Middle East, the entire range of destinations offered by Emirates would finally become accessible from Quebec (including Asia, Africa and Oceania).<\/p>\n

Especially since, for the past few months, it has been possible to redeem Aeroplan points<\/a> to travel on Emirates – even in First Class<\/a>, provided you have many points! This is in addition to the strengthened partnership<\/a> between Air Canada and Emirates.<\/p>\n

*** Update April 24th 2023 : As of early in the morning, booking in Aeroplan points is not currently available for this flight. <\/em><\/p>\n
