Earning Miles

Tier Miles

You also earn Tier Miles in addition to Skywards Miles every time you fly with Emirates on any fare type. They cannot be spent and are only used to build up your tier status from Blue, through Silver and Gold, to Platinum.

• Taking an Emirates flight (a flight number starting with EK) is the only way you can earn Tier Miles.
• We calculate how many Tier Miles you receive according to route, fare and class.
• A Skywards Flex fare always earns you more Tier Miles.
• You earn bonus Tier Miles when you choose to fly Business Class or First Class.

You earn Skywards Miles when you are a customer of one of our global partners, who often offer special seasonal promotions on top of their usual Miles rates. Visit our partners’ pages to find out about their current offers and please remember to quote your membership number when booking so we can credit your Miles account.
