Airfare deals are typically only available on limited dates. We recommend that you use Google Flights to find dates to fly, then book through an online travel agency, such as Orbitz, which allows you to cancel flights without penalty by 11pm Eastern Time within one day of booking. Remember: Fares may disappear quickly, so book right away and take advantage of Orbitz’s courtesy cancellation if you’re unable to travel. Additionally, keep in mind that discounted partner fares may not earn miles with US-based carriers.

Emirates has brought back its book-for-two promotion and is offering discounted fares from New York (JFK) to Milan, Italy (MXP).

The fare applies for travel between late September and early December 2016 and then again from January to April 2017, with blackout dates around the New Year's holiday.
