Emirates' most expensive ticket costs $30 and takes you from Los Angeles to Dubai. For $000, your seat can turn into a real bed. In addition, there is a sliding door that can be closed for privacy.
You also get your own minibar, a huge basket of snacks and skin care products. And even access to a shower and spa on board.
And while $30 for a flight might seem like a lot, it's actually not the most expensive flight in the world.
