Skywards

Emirates Skywards is the wildly popular Frequent Flyer Program of Emirates Airlines and one of the most generous in the global airline industry. With current membership of more than 5 million customers, this Loyalty Program offers their members one of the best rewards programs possible. Emirates Skywards makes it easy and quick to earn miles towards their many benefits.

Emirates Skwards offers their customers multiple ways to earn miles. The miles earned are based on the route flown, the kind of fare purchased and the class of cabin that is traveled in. Miles can also be earned by flying any of Emirates' eight partner airlines and by using any one of their many partner leisure and lifestyle organizations, hotels, car rental companies, financial institutions and credit cards.

Emirates Skywards members can receive benefits at each of three tiers. Upon entering the program, flyers start at the Blue tier, and quickly earn miles towards rewards. Being promoted to the Silver and Gold tiers, which require 25,000 and 50,000 miles respectively, earn the member increasing benefits including additional Skywards miles and priority treatment. Emirates Skywards seeks to treat their loyal customers with all the care and respect that they deserve. The more you fly, the easier it be comes to earn miles!
