Spending Miles

The best part about earning Miles is deciding how to spend them, and it won’t take you long to reach exciting rewards. You could earn enough Miles for an upgrade after just one long-distance trip.

As well as reward flights and upgrades on Emirates, you can spend your Miles with flydubai and our worldwide partners. Choose from flights with our partner airlines, luxury hotel stays, fun-filled family days out, or even tickets to a wide range of sporting and cultural events across the globe.

Your Miles are valid for three years, so you’ll have plenty of time if you want to save up for something really special.

We share your passion for travel, so it’s no surprise that one of the most popular ways to spend Miles is using them to explore new places. With Emirates there are two ways you can use your Miles to pay for flights: Classic Rewards or use Cash+Miles to book any Emirates seat and bring down the cost of your ticket. It’s easy to book online, and you can even upgrade using Miles to experience First Class or Business Class on the journey. And remember, you can use your Miles to treat family and friends too. Cash+Miles can be used to pay for Emirates marketed and operated flights only, and applies to the base ticket fare. Terms and conditions apply.
