The world's best airline is having a rare sale

Emirates Airlines was just named the king of the skies, and now you can fly like royalty for a discounted price. The world's best airline is having a rare fare sale.

Beginning on August 1, Emirates is offering steeply discounted prices on economy and business class tickets from the United States to Dubai.

Economy seats start at $699, with business-class tickets starting at $4,899 and -- while that might seem pricey -- it is still a lot less than normal. And, unlike the experience you might be used to when you fly coach, all Emirates passengers get luxurious amenities like gourmet food, on-demand entertainment with more than 2,200 channels, electrical outlets and complimentary wine.

The deals are good for travel between September 1 and December 8 of this year or January 9 through June 30, 2017.

The discounted tickets are available on flights out of all 10 of Emirates' U.S. gateways which include: Houston (IAH), Dallas Ft. Worth (DFW), Los Angeles (LAX), NY (JFK), Chicago (ORD), San Francisco (SFO), Orlando (MCO), Seattle (SEA), Boston (BOS), and Washington, D.C.(IAD).

If you're thinking about taking the trip of a lifetime to Dubai - you need to act fast. The sale will end on Thursday, August 4.
