Roughly 3,010 miles separate Frankfurt Airport (FRA) and Dubai International Airport (DXB), so a nonstop spends about 6h35 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. The nonstop award space in the data is split between Emirates and Lufthansa. Aircraft logged on those nonstops include the Airbus A380-800 and Boeing 777-300ER. Only about 7% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
With over six hours in the air on Frankfurt–Dubai, settle the cabin first; the right program follows from it. Here the lowest economy price is also the quickest trip: an Emirates nonstop booked through the airline's own program. Taxes and fees on that seat run about $183, in line with the route's typical economy taxes. Business runs about double the economy price. Flexible bank points can reach Emirates Skywards; confirm the space first, since transfers can't be undone.
Emirates Skywards takes economy at 17,500 points on an Emirates nonstop. Avianca LifeMiles is cheapest in business class at 35,700 points. Qantas Frequent Flyer wins first class at 123,200 points on an Emirates nonstop. Among the remaining four programs, Air Canada Aeroplan, GOL Smiles, and United MileagePlus are good places to cross-check. With the winner changing twice as you move up, decide where you'll sit before deciding where to move points.
Two airlines show nonstop award space between Frankfurt and Dubai: Emirates and Lufthansa. As a Star Alliance member, Lufthansa also sells its nonstop through alliance partners, not only Lufthansa Miles & More. Beyond the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data change planes in Zurich and Cairo. In business class, the floor sits on Egyptair, booked through Star Alliance partner Avianca LifeMiles.
Landing in the Dubai area, Al Maktoum (DWC) costs more, at 25,000 points in economy against the 17,500-point floor, so it's a second choice rather than a first. For a lower-cost trip from Frankfurt, Bangkok starts from 300 points at last check. Confirm which Dubai airport the award uses before transferring points.
