Roughly 7,830 miles separate Miami International Airport (MIA) and Dubai International Airport (DXB), so a nonstop spends about 16h15 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 777-300ER appears on those nonstop award segments. Only about 2% of the award options in the data are nonstop, so most results connect.
The cabin call comes first on Miami–Dubai; on an ultra-long-haul trip, the right program follows from it. Saving points means connecting: the economy floor connects once, and an economy nonstop on Emirates costs more. Watch the cash on the cheapest economy seat: about $303 in taxes and fees, well above the route's typical economy taxes, so more points and less cash can win. Premium economy runs about 2.4 times the economy price and business about 2.9 times.
Virgin Atlantic Flying Club wins economy at 24,000 points. Air France-KLM Flying Blue takes premium economy at 57,750 points. American AAdvantage is cheapest in business class at 70,000 points. Among the remaining nine programs, Air Canada Aeroplan, Avianca LifeMiles, and GOL Smiles are good places to cross-check. Economy also prices as a partner award, with the long leg on KLM.
On points, the Miami–Dubai nonstop belongs to Emirates alone in the data. If you're open to a stop, the better-priced connecting awards in the data run through New York, Paris, and Montreal. In business class, the floor sits on Royal Air Maroc, booked through oneworld partner American AAdvantage.
From the Miami side, Fort Lauderdale (FLL) prices higher at 44,000 points in economy versus the 24,000-point floor, so keep it for dates when Miami International is sold out. Check the departure airport code on the award before moving points.
