Explore Your Tier Benefits

Once you are a member, there are two easy ways to move up a tier. You can either

collect the required amount of Tier Miles by flying with Emirates or flydubai; or
complete the number of Emirates or flydubai flights needed to reach the next level.

Each new tier brings you inviting benefits that increase in value, such as dedicated check-in, priority boarding, and lounge access. Once you have been promoted to a new tier, you enjoy your membership privileges for 14 months, even if you don’t earn enough Tier Miles or take enough flights to retain the tier status in your annual review.
