Roughly 7,410 miles separate Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA) and Dubai International Airport (DXB), so a nonstop spends about 15h25 in the air, a little more or less depending on winds and direction. Emirates carries all of the nonstop award space in the data. The Boeing 777-200LR shows up on those nonstop award segments. Most award options in the data connect. Nonstops are just about 2% of the total.
The cabin call comes first on Seattle–Dubai; on an ultra-long-haul trip, the right program follows from it. The cheapest economy seat connects twice; skipping the connection means an economy nonstop on Emirates at a higher price. Look closely at layover lengths before committing. Taxes on the economy floor are missing from the data; check the cash portion at checkout before committing. Measured against economy, premium economy is about 1.8 times the points and business about 2.5 times.
GOL Smiles is cheapest in economy at 27,700 points. United MileagePlus wins premium economy at 50,000 points. American AAdvantage takes business class at 70,000 points. First class starts at 215,000 points through Alaska Atmos Rewards on a connecting itinerary, often first on one leg only, so confirm the cabin on each flight. The other seven programs include Air France-KLM Flying Blue, Delta SkyMiles, and Air Canada Aeroplan.
On points, the Seattle–Dubai nonstop belongs to Emirates alone in the data. Off the nonstop, the cheaper connecting awards in the data route through Vancouver, Los Angeles, and Paris. American AAdvantage sets the business-class floor as a oneworld partner, selling Royal Air Maroc seats at its own rates.
Check airport codes before transferring points: Seattle awards can also leave from Everett's Paine Field (PAE), and Dubai awards can also land at Sharjah (SHJ). Out of Seattle, Amsterdam is a cheaper long-haul redemption at last check, from 15,000 points.
